Weekend Review Quick Notes

~In a weekend of psuedo vacation I watched very limited amount of sports but here goes.

~Tiger was dominant and no one on Sunday expected anything but a victory. Really this was the easiest Tiger victory to predict in recent memory. He just came off killing everyone in a tournament, he was overly motivated by another dumb comment by Sabbatini and he got off to a hot start. Despite faltering on the second half of Thursdays round, he pretty much ran away with it.

~Remember when people were saying that Tiger might have issues with being a father and being a dominant golfer? Um, I think that was just people hoping it would be the case.

~Woody Austin isn't exciting.

~Stephen Ames is still going to be haunted from his dumb comments from last years Match Play tournament. Every single time he plays with Tiger he is either going to collapse or Tiger is going to play out of his head, either way it's a loss for Ames. When will these idiots learn not to talk trash to someone who is A) The best in the world and B) Actually takes serious motivation out of these comments. It's not like he shrugs this stuff off like some superstars might, he gets motivated and thinks kill, maim, destroy.

~Do not trust a man named Boo who occasionally wears camouflage hats. Sergio learned this when he stupidly signed off on a card that wasn't right. How do you not check that shit Sergio, are the monotone outfits getting to your brain? Damn.

~Sideyard hit a walkoff homer, yesterday. He's much more likable on the Orioles.

~Eric Gagne is already hated in Boston. Good Job.

~The Indians really aren't that good. If you don't face CC Sabathia you aren't facing a very good pitcher. And if you trust Fausto Carmona already, lets calm down on that boat.

~The Yankees are pretty good right now, now that people like Cano, Cabrera and Abreu are hitting and they aren't pitching the Giant Beaver or Matt De Salvo. 4 games back, isn't much.

~Thomas Jones hurt his leg. That's just friggin great.

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.
