How To Instantly Go From Hero to Villain by Seth Curry


It feels like a moment in a WWE match. You know the moment. Two heroes come into the ring to take out the villains. Everything is going well until all of a sudden one hero finds a folding chair and pulls it into the ring and all of a sudden when his partner's back is turned he smashes him to the ground. The hero has turned, he is now hated by all.

Today Seth Curry makes the leap to enemy. Instead of picking a nondescript ACC School or landing at VaTech to follow in his footsteps, he chooses Duke. We should have seen it coming. Soft Jump Shooters love Duke. He's the perfect Duke villain. Silky Smooth jump shot. Limited ability to play defense. Skinny as a pencil. He's the perfect successor for the Scheyer's of the world.

We shouldn't have been blindsided. It was an obvious decision. But we had hopes for a family that's added so much fun to college basketaball the past two years. The hopes are smashed, the Curry name will never be the same. Seth just dropped a massive chair smash to 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.
