This Weeks Random Thoughts

1) I hope you saw the highlights of Tomo Ohka hitting yesterday. Basically the worst hitter in the league with only 11 rbis in his career prior to yesterday he decided to hit lefty and went 2 for 2 with 4 rbis. The best part is that his first at bat he received catchers interference when he swung and hit the catchers mit and his manager admitted to the press that he just hoped that Ohka would strike out that at bat, that way he couldnt bounce into a double play. Great confidence Ned.

2) Jon Garland holds easily the most "huh-what-really-no thats not right" stat of this season. Garland is 15-4. 15-4, did you have any idea he was doing that well this season. He's actually 7-1 since the all-star break maybe its part run production maybe he's getting overshadowed by the struggles of the other 4 starters but I had no no idea he had won 15 games.

3) More comedy from yesterday, with the classic 5-7-3 putout in the tigers game. How embarrasing must it be for Sean Casey to be the first one to ever accomplish this? Not to mention that the guy still has the 1995 Bowl Cut look.

4) My favorite part about the Yankees run, other than the ass whipping given to the Red Sox, is that they are all starting to wear cheezy mucho cheezy mustaches. My favorite is Giambi's because I think he actually has mustache sweat. Maybe he is using the mustache to hide his steroid cream.

5) Ashley Lelie could possibly lose money by playing football this year, due to him missing every single workout known to man prior to him being dealt to the Falcons this week, man is that laughable, I hope he pulls a Sprewell quote and says he won't be able to feed his children.

6) Jermaine Dye has yet to stop hitting this season. The guy is hitting .325 with 37 homers and 99 rbis. This is Jermaine Dye we're talking about, he used to be a Royal, maybe he has been off the Royals long enough that he can perform. He's fully perged himself from all things Royals. I probably should have kept him on my fantasy team this year. Whoops.

7) Is anyone other than me perplexed as to how a kid could possibly be 6 foot 8 250 pounds at the age of 13? What are they feeding this kids in Saudi Arabia, pure 100% Crude Oil?

8) Deion Branch has just gotten permission to seek a trade. I don't really see why he is A) Asking for Reggie Wayne and B) Why the Pats don't just pay him.

Extra Random Thoughts

1) Watched Open Water last night, they both die in the end, pathetic. The girl drowns herself after her bf/husband bleeds to death then gets eaten by sharks.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
