2009 NIT Round 1 Sum Up


The ole NIT first round is done and in the end I went 11-5, which is not bad.

To put it bluntly the NIT first round was a round for the favorites. The better seed won 14 of the 16 games. Davidson, URI and Miami were the only squads to win on the road and Miami was a higher seed that needed to go roadtrippin thanks to scheduling conflicts. Because of that there's really nothing to talk about. The Hokies needed double OT to beat Duquesne so their run to the championship might be a bit in question. Billy Gillespie would probably like to win the tourney so maybe he doesn't get shit canned. Davidson is playing St. Mary's next which could be entertaining. But in the end the majority of the 2nd round games are going on at the same time as NCAA games, so its highly doubtful you'll be tuning in.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
