Super Bowl Quick Notes

~I know the game was solid and had its exciting moments but there is just something about the Cardinals being in the Super Bowl that diminishes it. I watched the entire game more focused on pulling for the numbers on my squares than for a team. Caring more about the opportunity to win a few dollars rather than having a keen interest on the results of play. I usually have at least something on one of the rosters that I despise and want to root against, but nothing. It took me to the 4th quarter until I finally decided that I wanted the Cardinals to win. And by then my thoughts of the game as a whole were completely tainted.

~Think Roger has seen the Santonio Holmes Penis Picture? I wonder if he was amused by that.

~How the hell did they let Harrison, a slow linebacker, run 100 yards down the field? That was pathetic.

~I know a lot of people hate the Cheeseburger, but that one play where he scrambled around the pocket avoiding tacklers long enough to turn around spot Heath Miller out of the corner of his eye and toss the rock in milliseconds was solid. That is the picture perfect image of the Chesse Burger.

~Also, if the Cheeseburger is anything as a quarterback its clutch. He isn't the best QB, far from it, but he seems to play his best in the closing moments of games.

~Santonio Holmes amassed a whopping zero 100 yard receiving games this year for my fantasy team. And then he goes out and wins the Super Bowl MVP. What a douche.

~Larry Fitzgerald is beast.

~Kurt Warner is a Hall of Famer. He's shown up in three Super Bowls and dominated.

~Yay for another generation of Bandwagon Steeler babies.

~Maybe next year I'll talk about the Jets in the Super Bowl. I love Jokes...

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.
