Weekly Waste of Oxygen

So I think with my new found love for polls I'm going to set up a weekly friday post that highlights the douches of the week, the people who have proven through their actions during the current week that the planet would be better off without.

So who are our first contestants...
1. Gary Sheffield - Gary came out and threw out conspiracy theories about him getting suspended and about Latin players falling in line while Black players will always be who they be. Shut the hell up.

2. Billy Donovan - What says annoying more than spurring a weeklong story that didn't have too many sidebars. Billy Donovan made us talk for a week about nothing, including myself, and he definately douched over Anthony Grant.

3. Johnnie Morton - Not only were you a bust in the NFL, especially for the Lions, but you got knocked the F out by a comedian in your MMA match and then you didn't even agree for the steroid test post fight. Which implies that you were on steroids and you still got knocked out. Nice.

4. Drunken Dutch Fan - He's the chap who ran on the field during a 3-3 tie took a swing at the ref, forced the UEFA to disqualify the Dutch, which eliminated their country from qualifying for the European Tournament. Talk About being a solid countryman.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
