Thursday Morning Quick Notes

~Michael Strahan is a chump. He's all whiny and threatening retirement because he wants more money. Good for the Giants telling him to go screw himself. You may be the active leader in sacks, but guess what you're old and you missed half the season last year and Dwight Freeney and other people that banked in the offseason have none of those problems. Stop being a bitch.

~Speaking of holdouts, is there anything more annoying than the rookie holdout? From Brady Quinn I'm a QB and I think I'm a top 5 pick so I deserve more money than a normal 22 pick to the Jets 1st round draft pick Darrelle Revis fighting over having one less year on his contract, all are lame. The NFL really should structure their draft salaries like the NBA does. You are drafted here, here is the max money you can make. We will sign you at that. Good? Good. Signed.

~What's with journalists attempting to make Dog Fighting seem worse than Rape? First some guy in Pittsburgh says it sad that in this country Vick would have been better off raping a woman. Than a CNN reporter starts comparing the charges that faced Kobe and that Vick is in a worse situation. Probably cause Kobe was completely innocent meanwhile Vick is...

~Culpepper to the Raiders makes a ton of sense. He's the exact model of a QB Russell can look at and learn from. In addition it makes his holdout and contract talks not nearly as urgent. And for Culpepper he gets a chance to start and prove he's not completely washed up.

~A-Rod is just showing how mental he is right now. He's journeying on his career long hitless streak because he is psyching himself out and can't do crap while thinking about #500. As soon as he stumbles into the homer I bet he goes back on his tear but who knows how long it will take for him to hit the dinger.

~The YES Network is currently on sale for 3 Billion dollars so get your buddies together and get your funds straight, let's buy the shit.

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.
