A Quick Masters Review

~First and foremost I think we can say that Shingo definitely brought it with his Japanese flag hat and the plaid green and white pants. Unfortunately he did not even come close to making the cut so we only got two days of Shingo mania.

~Holy shit I was right for once. I picked the Titties to win and by golly he did. Mickelson's win can pretty much be summed up by his three hole explosion on Saturday when he went Eagle, Eagle, Birdie and by his shot lying in the woods between two trees which he landed within five feet of the hole. I just wish Westwood or Kim were a shot back on the final hole to see how the added pressure would have effected him.

~Hell, I almost went 3 for 3 on my missed cut predictions. I predicted Furyk to miss the cut and nailed it. He finished 91st out of 95. I predicted Sabbatini to miss the cut, as always, and he finished 80th. Finally I predicted Weir to miss the cut and he came close. He finished +8, 5th worst of all players who made the cut.

~Outside of the plane flying around with humorous slogans, Tiger wasn't exactly persecuted at the Masters this weekend. Just goes to show you how quickly he will return to the Tiger Woods of old where fans will forget that he had sex with every porn star in the nation and just remember that he's a really good golfer who is entertaining to watch. Now only if he wouldn't duck hook his driver into the woods about 4 times per round.

~Sucks to be Lee Westwood, three top three finishes in majors in a row, and in reality he's likely never going to win one.

~Fred Couples is completely overrated in golf history. Something to get into in more detail at some other time but just my thoughts this weekend.

~And finally check out pretty pants Polter's sunday outfit. Purple plaid with purple and white spikes. Solid. Unfortunately like Shingo, his golf game on the weekend was not.

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...
