Send Gilbert Home for the Year

Part of me feels like Jay Marioti for saying this, but Gilbert Arenas should be suspended for the entire year. The Wizards should be allowed to void his contract with cause. And Gilbert should start applying for some serious gun safety based community service.

If any individual person went into their place of work and pulled out three guns during an argument "as a joke" they would be fired on the spot. If Gilbert Arenas did this while at Arizona he likely would have been expelled. While most of the time I feel as if I'm on the side of leniency when it comes towards players suspended for their moronic actions, bringing guns and whipping them out in the work place is a line that never should be crossed. I honestly don't care that the guns weren't loaded and nothing was going the happen, you don't store multiple guns in your locker in any circumstance and you don't pull them out ever. Gilbert Arenas should pay a price for his blatant stupidity and that price should be equal to any normal human being on this planet, he should get canned.

The Wizards likely would love to get rid of his contract which is incredibly bloated and this should really be a viable way for them to do so. If it was Lebron, I might have a different response. I think Gilbert's action gives the team the right to fire him with cause. Way more than Texas Tech had the right to fire Leach.

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
