2009 CBI Bracket Predictions


It's time for the 2nd edition of the College Basketball Invitational. I'm pumped are you pumped? Last year my picks were thwarted by the dreaded reseeding that is done in the semifinals, this year I'm gonna go rock solid. Stanford the favorite is gonna take it home. They'll get Houston in the Semifinals thanks to reseeding after the Beavers are defeated. On the other end of the bracket Charleston shall upset Richmond and then upset Nevada who previously cruised through their home games.

The bracket looks money doesn't it? My CBI Bracket shall be unchallenged and easily win its pool of 1.

Today is a day to practice brackets, so the CBI, CIT and NIT brackets will be filled out.

well you are not rock solid already. UTEP beat nevada in a game that was closer than it should have been. UTEP had Nevada crushed and they let them back into the game but gutted out the W.

Interesting that your bracket shows you picked Nevada to win the Green Bay-Houston match-up in the second round. That would be an NCAA first......a team not even in a game winning it.

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.
