Jose Offerman's Still Swinging


Remember the illustrious Jose Offerman? If you're a Sox fan you certainly do. In 1999 Offerman made his debut with the Sox and while he was miserable in the field he hit .294 and was a valuable bat in their lineup. He proceeded to tank the next 2 1/2 years and was shipped to Seattle.

Well Jose is still toiling around baseball trying to make it. Last year he toiled in Triple A and this season he's a teammate of Crazy Carl the Dinosaur Hater with the Long Island Ducks. Apparently Jose needed Crazy Carl to hold him back like he did with the Red Sox, cause well Jose lost his cool a little bit last night.

In the first inning of the game against the Bridgeport Bluefish Offerman went yard. So naturally the next inning when he was drilled in the calf he charged the mound with bat in hand and swung at the pitcher. He clipped pitcher Matt Beech's fingers and hit catcher John Nathans in the head with the backswing. Jose was then arrested and taken into custody.


Come on Jose, Bridgeport is such a lovely city how could anyone ever get mad when you are in such a paradise and when you have such a beautiful view of the local power plant just past the right field bleachers. The beautiful smog of Bridgeport should promote peace and harmony and all things wonderful not violence and anger towards the opposing pitcher Jose. Think happy thoughts. Plus you only got hit on the damn calf, how much of a little bitch are you, that couldn't have seriously hurt much. Stop being a little girl Jose, do you think a Major League team is going to pick you up now? You made Crazy Carl look tame.

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...

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...
