phil rodgers talking about how q! is an "all-or-nothing hitter"

“he just doesn’t hit for a high average.” and i agree, .312 is just not getting it done. nevermind all the other stats that further illustrate his awesomeness, rodgers and i think q! simply isn’t gonna hit for average.

it used to be that sportswriters would just cherrypick the stats they liked, but starting today they can just flat out deny the reality of the very stats they cite. progress, gentlemen.

pardon me while my head explodes.

Ahh, Good times...

Also, did you know he invented the + / - system of evaluating off season team transactions?

A stroke of pure genius, my friend, pure genius.

90% of statistics are bullshit anyways, so why even look stuff up when you’re on a roll?

Anyone else going to join me on the Phil Rogers bandwagon? (plenty of seats still available)

Phil for president! Phil for governor! Phil for commissioner!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

that is one of the most inadvertantly entertaining things he has ever written.

he really shed some light on the off-season. here i was looking at the individual players, but he crafted an ingenious system that cuts out all that bs that separates players. pablo and toby for a-rod? you’re -1. not good. brilliant.

Ahh, Good times...

Well, somebody's got to go...

to make room for the awesomeness that is Jerry Owens.

Is it going to be Jermaine Dye? His veteran presence is needed. The lineup wouldn’t be veteran-y enough without him. NO

Is it going to be Nick Swisher? His grindiness has been proven. He is “Chicago Tough”. NO

Is it going to be Carlos Quentin? He is handsome, he is from California, and he went to Stanford YES YES TRIPLE YES TRADE HIM

He pulled it hard.

Even the twins announcers have joined the SSS theme for the night.

Fook

Couldn’t type fast enough, but was going to say I had a bad feeling this inning…

I took the "under".

Ya know

This team is not the Yankees, we don’t have the firepower to overcome shitty defense.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Haven't you learned how to post an image yet?

Cheat, give this kid a lesson here – he sits at your right hand.

Hitting comments such as

not trying to do too much, putting the ball in play, keeping his hands close to drive the ball into center field as opposed to swinging around the ball and popping it up. Sounds like some of the comments I have seen here but not heard from the Sox hitters. Interesting comments.

I disagree.

“Not trying to do too much” is a trite, meaningless cliche. His discussion of Mauer pulling the ball but not pulling it was incoherent. And “putting the ball in play”? Wow, what insight!

Floyd 80 pitches through 4 innings

AJ 2 throwing errors, Swisher a poor throw not much to cheer about so far.

Is Masset starting tomorrow?

I was just wondering who is available in the pen since it looks like it going to get a lot of use tonight

Great idea - "Thaks for coming - here's something representing our chance to win

the Series this year. None. We appreciate your support.”

I took the "under".

They'd have a really good chance

if they only played the Sox all year.
