Weekly Waste of Oxygen

After a week off for the Weekley Waste, we are back with mostly nuisances rather than criminal offenses.

1. Billy Crystal Haters - He got 1 at bat and even made contact. That was it. It took a couple of minutes and then the story was over. That's all the story should have been. But nope some stupid ass bags out there had to get enraged for no reason at all. Spend your time doing something productive please.

2. Joe Lunardi - I love College Basketball. Granted my devotion of time to the sport has been less this year than in the recent past, but I still love college basketball. Joe Lunardi on the other hand I could do without. Probably because every time you put on sportscenter he's there. Everyday his opinion changes. Thus everyday prior to sunday his opinion is completely meaningless.

3. Pat Summit - Whistle Blower Summit. First off I don't really understand why it is a recruiting violation to ask a local business to give one of your recruits a tour of their facilities. Sure ESPN may be a little different than the Jack Daniels factory, but whatever who cares. Secondly why these coaches are so eager to report these minor violations is ridiculous.

4. Mitch Williams - I guess the Wild Thing name has always been pretty accurate for Mitch Williams. He's a hot head who bombed out of the league because he couldn't keep it together. A 5th grade catholic league basketball game is pretty meaningless Mitch. Nothing really to get worked up about and certainly nothing where you need to start cursing at the officials for. You must be that embarrassing father that everyone ends up laughing at.

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.
