2010 BCS Championship Player Map

After finally figuring out how to add the Alabama and Texas maps into one, I present you with a Map of the BCS Championship game. Again, there is either a Bama or Longhorn logo in each city/town where a member of the team calls home. Click on any of the logos to see which player(s) comes from each city.

~I'm going to discount living in Louisiana as living West of the Mississippi, by doing that the Crimson Tide do not have a single player West of the Mississippi. Hell this might be the first time 95% of their roster has ever been in California.

~In contrast, Texas only has one player from East of the Mississippi and he seemingly isn't get much time off the bench.

~Bama has three players from Texas including Quarterback Greg McElroy who likely is looking forward to some state bragging rights if the Crimson Tide are victorious.

~The lone player on either roster who resides in California is Tight End Blaine Irby, whom was expected to be the Longhorns starting Tight End this season but got hit with the devastator last season and hopefully can come back next year.

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.
