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.
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.
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

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

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.

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
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.
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.
i was trying to mock swishit's attitude
on this whole bible situation. guess i missed. haha
i thought everybody knew

Most stolen book too.
I had a run-in with a bible thief once.

i didn't even realize there was a game going on
i was too busy thinking about bible thieves and mancrush haters.
man and i thought i was being obscure

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.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."

I was mistaking this was a sports blog.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Pitching and defense.
Men on base
When will we be able to drive a few of those who reach base? It is killing us.

i will now add that
it logically follows from SSI71’s opposite field theory that Josh Fields should be in this lineup, since he kills junkballers.
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
BB to Nick Punto.
He of the career ,633 OPS.
Pitching and defense.
LOL
Please, don’t get any hostile deals for the rest of the season – when you are bored at work (if you still, in fact, are) you are a fountain of creativity.
I took the "under".
oh, i'm no longer bored
i’d say i’m even more of a font when i need to get hostile. and i’m very, very hostile right now. up to my neck in hostile shit, literally. my desk looks like a ten year olds fort.

Guys like Mauer get the courtesy upgrade

This will end up costing us
getting two men on with Morneau coming up.
you're right
we need to get a third guy in there before morneau comes.
4/29/08: the ginger ninja strikes again
Deja Vu
A White Sox starter pitching well. Lots of men left on base. A palpable fear of what’s going to happen when Ozzie brings a reliever in.
It’s almost like its happened before
So which is worse
THAT?
Or the fact that our “high stats” Sox are being shut out by a losing, 1-4 pitcher named boof…?
Twin's announcers discussing hitting
They seem much more knowledgeable about the intricacies of hitting than I heard from the Sox people.
sorry, they're disqualified for saying the sox need jerry owens leading off

to erase our baserunners…

Minnesota announcers called AJ safe
too bad the ump didn’t.

there’s something you don’t see often
4/29/08: the ginger ninja strikes again
How many times have the Minnesota announcers mentioned Harmon Killebrew?
You know who could hit the ball? Harmon Killebrew.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
fuck that
you ever see yaz play? let me tell ya, he he, there was no one like yaz. i mean that guy…
4/29/08: the ginger ninja strikes again
Did you know that Yaz won the triple crown in '67?
Beat out that fat fuck Killebrew. Yes he did.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
Hey, when Tony Conigliaro was a rookie, no one could get him out
I’ll tell ya, if he doesn’t get hit in the face by that Sanford pitch he’s in the Hall.
I took the "under".
have i ever told you the story
of how i collected freddy lynn’s pubic hair from the drain of the red sox clubhouse shower?
4/29/08: the ginger ninja strikes again
this is officially a thread of epic proportion
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Now I telll ya Ted Williams, he could hit the ball
But Yaz – I mean chuckle chuckle – that Yaz was sumpin else.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
Ya know, everyone knows Teddy Ballgame could hit, sure
but Rico Petrocelli, now there was a 5 tool player.
I took the "under".
Oh, don't get me started on Rico
In 1967, he had the best season for a 3rd baseman EVA. This guy, I mean, this guy was sumpin else.`
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
lemme tell ya
in 1965, when i was with the A’s, i played with bert campaneris. now campy, he was the best shortstop i eva saw going to his left on two hoppers in day games. nobody, i mean nobody, picked it and threw it on those plays like campy.
4/29/08: the ginger ninja strikes again
what a shit game, might as well keep this alive
Now Campy, no one wanted to win more than Campy – NO ONE. I was talking to me batting coach with the KC A’s back in ‘66 Jerry Lumpe, and we were talking it over and Jerry said no one wanted it more than Campy.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
Gotta agree with ya - that was a great impression.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
I'll tell ya, Don Mincher was probably the most
underrated hitter on that KC team, I’ll tell ya. No one ever got a fastball by him.
I took the "under".
Best fastball hitter I eva saw? Don Mincher
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
yaz
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
But I tell ya, the thing about Yaz
Is he could hit the good ball too. He could hit the bad ball for ya, but then he could hit the good ball too. I tell ya, that Yaz, he was sumpin else.
"The little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."
But the greatest clubhouse leader I ever saw
was Sal Bando. He fired up the whole clubhouse, knew pat ya on the back, when to kick you in the behind. Sal Bando.
I took the "under".
when hawk leaves the booth
the sox will just run tape of these same stories, if they aren’t already.
He pulled it hard.
Even the twins announcers have joined the SSS theme for the night.
I was rooting for Messi
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 little things are always in my mind," he said. "I always like to move the guy over, I like to bunt."

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!
Joist
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
incendiarioso?

Great idea - "Thaks for coming - here's something representing our chance to win
the Series this year. None. We appreciate your support.”

they were scratch offs
