SimonOnSports News

Basically it was inevitable that someone was going to inhale my excellence and ask me to do posts for another site. And that day has begun today. I was asked to be a contributor to Epic Carnival which is pretty much a group of a lot of bloggers that post about whatever they feel like. Anyway I was asked to do a minimum of 2 posts a week, and I figured that wasn't much and perhaps it will drive more people to good ole here.

Pretty much I wanted to spread my hate to the masses. I busted my first post out today which I figured could be on the subject of one of my favorites to hate on, Brian Scalabrine.

Anyway, I'll post a link on my sideboard to where my posts will be located at Epic Carnival. And most likely unless I'm very lazy I'll include a link into a Quick Notes page every time I post something up there.

Thoughts? Hart? Perras? Frank the Tank? PapaBear?

I dig it Simon, moving up in the world huh? I also dig the subject matter, as I hate Scalabrine with the fire of a thousand suns as well. Unfortunately, I might hate Pollard just as much, if that's even possible.

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.
