The Scalabrine Watch Week 19, 20, & 21

This season the NBA has listened to one of my many thoguht and has started to track a players +/- during the course of individual games. Due to my dislike of Brian Scalabrine, I am going to track he's performance in a weekly post called The Scalabrine Watch. 3 Million a year for what?

Celtics 111 Sonics 82: DNP

Celtics 92 Jazz 110: DNP

Celtics 99 Bucks 77: +4
Scalabrine actually in uniform and on the court for the first time in weeks and the last time in weeks. 2 assists and 2 rebounds in 6 minutes isn't all that bad. But he's a better cheerleader than player, so Doc has been using him in his more natural position.

Game Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-0, 1 Point, 2 Rebound, 2 Assists

Celtics 93 Spurs 91: DNP

Celtics 94 Rockets 74: DNP

Celtics 94 Mavericks 90: DNP

Celtics 106 Hornets 113: DNP

Celtics 90 76ers 95: DNP

Celtics 117 Suns 97: DNP

Celtics 112 Hornets 92: DNP

Celtics 88 Heat 62: DNP

Overall Period Performance: +4
In the span of three weeks, Scalabrine has only seen the floor one time. One measely game to which he had a +/- of positive 4. Yes one game in 3 weeks and he's making 3 million dollars. Why doesn't he atleast put on a cheerleaders outfit and start hucking the dancers in the air?

Weeks Stats: 6 Minutes, 0-0, 1 Point, 2 Rebounds, 2 Assists

Overall Season Performance: +27
With the DNPs coming full steam ahead it looks as if Scals will finish the season with a positive plus/minus. I can't decide whether I just want the DNPs to continue or if I want him to get a ton of PT over the last week of the season while the Cs rest Allen, Pierce and KG and hope that his +/- dips closer to par. We shall see what the Doctor orders.

Season Stats:10:18 MPG, .317 FG%, 1.9 PPG, 1.5 RPG, 0.8 APG

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
