Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Friday Morning Mets Newsstand

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba bullets!

  • At MetsGeek, John Peterson tries to figure out what kind of organization the Mets really are.
  • Matt Himelfarb has a nice interview with Tim Marchman over at Flushing University.
  • HOF candidate Goose Gossage doesn't much care for Roger Clemens.
  • JC Bradbury thinks he has the solution to this whole HGH hullabaloo: legalize it.
  • It's the last day before the holiday break, so if you need to kill some time whilst avoiding doing any actual work today, Jay Jaffe takes a look at the eligible outfielders for this year's Hall of Fame call. It clocks in at around 4,400 words, which should get you through to lunch, at least.

JC Bradbury
i've been reading all his stuff on sabrenomics about HGH (or most of it anyway) and i really wish some MSM types would start at least bringing up the fact that the whole Ramodski ring of players busted for HGH might not have affected one play of professional baseball.  I dont think that should let the players off the hook or in anyway try to diminish the issue at hand - but you can still make good copy by covering the mitchell report AND enlightening the masses about how HGH affects athletes.

legalize it? No.
Oh, gus. JC Bradbury's solution - legalization, for me it is just a pitiful excuse to deny his misbehavior into a legal way. I totally protest this act. HGH side effects go faraway. Must read this report to tell the truth from false at:

HGH is a dead killer to smash baseball player's career completely!

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
