Weekly Waste of Oxygen

No serious crimes this week, which is nice, but just proves that you don't need to do something horrendous to be considered a moron.

1. Eric Schnupp - Some may choose to call him the Biggest Waste of Oxygen this weekend, I prefer to call him inspiration. When your team sucks, as Baylor most certainly does, can you think of any better way to motivate the troops than urinating on a bar the night after another painful loss. I don't know if I can.

2. El-Hadji Diouf - If you were the best player for your national team and you were only 26 the logical progression would be what? Captaincy? Or... retirement. Why because they were no longer paying for his plain flights. This coming from the same player who admitted to getting thrown out of Premiership games on purpose.

3. EA Sports - Video games aren't just for kids plenty of adults play them as well I know. But there are a lot of kids walking around the aisles who will grab EA sports games and think to themselves, wow Shawne Merriman is cool or if your Latin
Luis Castillo es un gran chico. And now the children are idolizing steroid users. Good idea EA.

4. Manny Ramirez - Manny doesn't care about losing and doesn't care if he makes a mockery of the game and of the opposing pitchers. The moral of story is that the only thin that Manny Ramirez does that should be taken seriously is hit a baseball. Other than that every single thing the man does should be taken with a grain of salt.

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.
