Weekly Waste of Oxygen

Apparently the biggest theme of this week is miserable parenting.

1. Christopher Biechele - Whine, Whine, Whine, and maybe some cheese. The NFL cost me some money because they decided to televise the game to the masses. So because I'm a whining baby and I spent my $200 bucks to get the NFL network I want the NFL to pay me all the imaginary dollars I would have made if patrons came to my bar to watch the big game.

2. Mr. & Mrs. Thorn - Sometimes you just really really shouldn't give your child what they want, especially when giving them what they want requires you to fight the local government simply because your little boy wants to be a... cheerleader. Seriously, as parents not only are you condoning your son to get his ass whooped, you are promoting it. Genius.

3. James Gahan - Jose Canseco probably would vote for this guy as father of the year rather than a waste of oxygen. But any man who decides that his sons fame is more important than his future health, and decides that feeding his 14 year old performance enhancers is a pretty big waste of oxygen to me. Thankfully he'll be heading to the slammer for a long time.

4. The Ohio State University - Two straight years you tease us with your explosive starts only to be completely out of the game by the 4th quarter. Why must you be completely outclassed by the SEC, why must you win all of your cupcake games and not lose to the likes of Stanford like USC. Must you punish college football fans by winning all of the winnable games but getting pummeled by the superior squads in the Title game?

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.
