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...

Well, he didn't win a Pulitzer for nothing

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

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

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 29, 2008 6:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

YES YES TRIPLE YES TRADE HIM

Are you joking or serious?
Trade the guy who’s carrying the team right now?

by swishit on Apr 29, 2008 7:04 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

he is joking of course!

SSS loves Q!

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

Well okay then...back to your regularly scheduled program

Here’s to the Sox beatin’ the boof-meister in the land of the twinks.

ozzie mentioned to stoney that he would like Q to run more

I hope ozzie doesn’t do anything stupid like telling Q to run on mauer

and a cherry flavored condom

What's the problem exactly?

You’re offended by “man-crush”?

gonna out-engery a lot of guys, simply by over-attituding them.

by defensive indifference on Apr 29, 2008 7:30 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He's jealous...

of all the attention that we’re giving Quentin.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 29, 2008 7:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah.

that must be it.

by swishit on Apr 29, 2008 7:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Are you refering to

gushing over Q or the phrase “man crush”?

by joewho112 on Apr 29, 2008 7:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i don't really understand what's being objected to or why

or what’s especially out of bounds about this particular vein of discourse given the nature of the discourse on SSS as a whole.

Swishit is really Tim Hardaway.

i was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but

i suspected as much.

I’m definately a gay hater.

D-oh.

Fixeded.

Well the Bible does say

that a man should not blog about another man with high OBP as he would blog about a women for it is an abomination

by joewho112 on Apr 29, 2008 7:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Umm...

No it doesn’t.
But then I wouldn’t expect you to know anything about what the Bible says…

Haven't sold too many of those things over the years

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

by colintj on Apr 29, 2008 7:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i actually think it is fairly common knowledge that the bible

is the best-selling book of all-time. even in the sinful world of gay sports blogging.

Ahh, Good times...

by MarketMaker on Apr 29, 2008 7:47 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i was trying to mock swishit's attitude

on this whole bible situation. guess i missed. haha

I see why you don’t like posting to gamethreads. Need the meaty subject matters referencing the Big Book.

i appreciate your assessment of my character absent evidence

but I’d hate to be an English major without a working knowledge of the Bible.

See, now this is why I like SSS

What a clever bunch, as a group everyone just smoothly tap-danced away from a dicey situation – like a school of fish maneuvering. This place is just like Deadwood, we don’t need no fucking government.

Mancrush, math jokes, this thread has it all!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.
