#12 What's Going On Here?
For those of you who may not understand why I'm doubling my alltime blog output, it is for charity. This is a blogathon where for charity (Habitat for Humanity in my case) where from 9am today for 24 straight hours, I have to make 2 blog posts an hour. So that's pretty much it.
If you have a couple extra bucks - even 50 cents if you want - follow the link in the picture below and pledge some money to Habitat for Humanity.

Anyway, my buddy Adam just asked me the following (follow the link below if you don't know what a Rucchin is):
hey kent... any ideas for an NBA 'rucchin of the year'?...
my first thought goes to boris diaw
It's tough for basketball, and I'll take any suggestions you might have. It's easier to tell a few years later when a Rucchining may have been occurring. For me Kenyon Martin's days with Jason Kidd come to mind.
His question reminds me that the other day I was thinking of how the award applies to Baseball. The best I could figure is that it goes to the pitcher with the best record despite his numbers. It's not bad, but we need to figure out who to name the award after. Someone that made a career with a lot of wins, and a huge ERA. Bring your suggestions in.
Anyway, the front runners so far this year are:
Josh Beckett 13-5 with a 4.80 ERA and 1.26 WHIP
Kenny Rogers 11-4 with a 4.45 ERA and 1.28 WHIP
Joe Blanton 11-8, with a 4.78 ERA and 1.45 WHIP
Jason Marquis 12-8, with a 5.67 ERA and 1.41 WHIP
Steve Trachsel 9-5, with a 5.14 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP
I think Marquis is running away with this so far, bolstered by the fact that he is actually leading the NL in wins, despite and ERA that's flirting with 6.00. That is such a statistical anomaly. If he keeps it up all year, the award just might end up named after him.
