Stats Corner: Looking At Garret Anderson
I caught the last inning of the Braves/Red Sox game today. De Sawx won 1-zippo.
But I don’t care about that so much. What interested me is a comment made by Thom Brennanananman about Garret Anderson. Something to the effect of “he’s been one of the best hitters in all of baseball over...

Originally from Whowerare.
Following his two goal performance in a 3-1 victory for Italy over the United States at the Confederations Cup soccer tournament, Giuseppe Rossi finds himself a topic of discussion among American sports writers and commentators.

No CommentsMontreal Canadiens General Manager Bob Gainey has pulled the rug from his five-year plan (losing a shit load of free agents for nothing makes it all the more easier) and has chosen a new path for the Habs. Hey, at least he admits his errors - sorta. He’ll put his faith and hockey stake in Scott Gomez, Brian Gionta and Mike Cammalleri and to a lesser extent with Jaroslav Spacek and Hal Gill. It’s...

No CommentsHow Italy came to be the poster boys for diving is beyond me. I’ve been watching and reading about soccer for a long, long time and one thing I can say is that diving transcends nationality.
Do people actually believe German, English, Brazilian, Argentinian, Portuguese, French, Swedish, Korean, Dutch, Spanish etc. players don’t dive? If you’re one of these people please watch this...

This article assumes that:
For players that the team has filed an LTI exception, the team is allowed to exceed the cap by up to the amount of the injured player’s salary with as many replacement players as needed, provided that when the injured player is activated the team comes into compliance with the cap immediately.
In this article I am only referencing situations where...

But I don’t care about that so much. What interested me is a comment made by Thom Brennanananman about Garret Anderson. Something to the effect of “he’s been one of the best hitters in all of baseball over the last 15 years”.
I was bored and decided to check out Garret’s shtatishtics.

After months of claim, counter claim, conjecture and rumour it is now confirmed that Carlos Tevez is to leave Manchester United. That may not come as a surprise to some, but what I think did raise a few eyebrows was that it was Tevez who decided to leave, rather than Manchester United deciding not to offer him a new deal.
Carlos Tevez
As Tevez grabbed two vital goals towards the end...

I have been compiling goaltending data since 2003-2004 and felt now was a good time to join it all together in one large database so I can produce statistics that you see below. The tables below include data from playoffs and regular season from 2003-2004 2005-2006 to 2008-2009 (excluding the 2003-2004 playoffs). The database contains over 300,000 shots in over...

101: Slide the slide at Miller Park.
100: Sit in one of the kayaks in McCovey Cove, waiting for a home run ball.
99: Wait out a multi-hour rain delay, till there are so few in the park that your voice can get picked up by the TV broadcast.
98: Do something really, really stupid on the Diamondvision.
97: Watch your favorite team on the road, while they’re visiting the most...

A good fantasy pick
1) Andre Anderson - Tulane: Anderson was off to a fantastic start last year before busting up his shoulder in the 7th game of the season against Rice. He had 854 and 7 scores through the first 6 games including two tough matchups against Alabama and East Carolina. Based on the talent of Anderson and the schedule he plays, the only thing preventing...

Has anyone noticed those GM commercials? Yeah, the one about resurrection or something. Oh, reinvention you say? Well, good for them I suppose. It would have been nice if it was 100% private but hey…it’s a sports blog.
Anyway, here’s a great article by Terry O’Reilly (I’m guessing not the former Boston Bruins player) of the Ottawa Citizen using...
