The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
All score, and all is well in Soxdom
I hope he stays on fire this weekend.
JD on fire
'08 all star game--vote early vote often....for pablo ozuna...he could be a late inning defensive replacement...
ops'in above 0.9 maybe

'08 all star game--vote early vote often....for pablo ozuna...he could be a late inning defensive replacement...
So tired of our base-clogging, home-run hitting team!
And their propensity to score 10+ runs as of late.
Both feet on the bandwagon.
what happened??

I know it's early but:
Down 6-0 already… facing an unknown lefty.
This ballgame is ova.

When she farts, a little rainbow comes out...
Not that you're wrong in this case,
but shouldn’t the logic of “small sample size” be applied to posts as well?
Every thread
Really? So if I find a single thread where he didn’t…does the universe implode or something?
every thread he was here instead of Soxtalk and Bleedingcubbyblue
When she farts, a little rainbow comes out...
That's what I love about you, lar
You can dish it out, but you can’t take it, and if someone takes it wrong, it’s a “joke.” I wish I had a nickle for every new poster who’s throat you’ve jumped down, I’d have at least a sawbuck.
And as I said, we wonder why there’s so much sunshine around here.
you're weird.
we make a joke every time SSH declares a game ova. it’s one of the things he does, along with providing us cubdates, relaying news about players we thought were long since retired, and concocting lineups.
perhaps start your own website where stats and probabilities and signability issues and ops don't exist?
They're gonna give daddy the Rain Man suite, you dig that?
Huh?
So, as I said, they’re applied only to the players on the field? SSH can say the game is over with a lefty we haven’t seen throwing junk, and he’s right (Cub fan or no) 90% of the time, but an exception comes along, and someone calls him out on it….why?
That’s like me pointing to one case last year where the bullpen didn’t suck to prove stats are worthless.
Anyone else care to make regular bets on this offense coming back from 6 down in this situation?
that was a reply to larry and it was regarding what chisox11 said earlier.
They're gonna give daddy the Rain Man suite, you dig that?
Who said I didn't follow closely?
Just because I don’t have time to post every day doesn’t mean I don’t read it.
Not my fight,
but then you gotta keep up. The pace here is frenetic. You get run over if you don’t look both ways.
CWS: Slashing negative expectations since May, 2008.
against the pirates who the sox had scored 24 runs against in two games?
yeah, i’d take that bet. just like i would have when SSH originally posted it.
Not against the Buccos
Not when the tape is so obviously in the Sox’ favor.
Don’t fight the mo’.
CWS: Slashing negative expectations since May, 2008.
Look... the man said 90%
That must mean he did some research on the subject… do you really think he just made that number up or something?
I think they represented someone in the World Series
last year. The National League, I believe. They got a few players.

I believe it was, yet again, the National League.

i suppose it's difficult to take one's eye off the artist's brush as he paints a picture.
They're gonna give daddy the Rain Man suite, you dig that?
i like how two games against the pirates is a small sample size
but three games against the rockies is more than enough for him to continue beating this one into the ground. i think this may actually be a schizophrenic SSH posting.
i think you missed the point of that
the term is meant to be used when a mediocre or at least unaccomplished pitcher comes out of nowhere to dominate for one specific night against the sox. its really to disregard it as a small sample size, an anomaly, a bad night. or at least thats what i always thought.
might be time to stick a fork in this one, man.

what are we debating here? oh, yes, SSH's propensity to call a game ova before it's actually over. and then the sox win. witness the last three times he's done it.
today’s game: sox win; see above for post.
And this ballgame is OVA.

yeah there are mitigating factors
but they look really well coached at the plate right now. making good adjustments and
getting good swings. JD may not see another low 90s fastball the rest of the season.

Have they played SD, WSH, and SF a lot?
Or HOU early in the year? Hard to believe they have improved that much, their fair-haired CF notwithstanding, after this performance.

Cubs game tonight sb over at about 10, maybe an 11:30 flight,
they’ll get in around 2, be home around 3. Then off to Wrigley for a 1:20 game.
Well we can hope for a few extra innings down in Tampa so the Cubs can go right from the airport to the park.

been keeping scores in an excel sheet for every game for AL competitors (all central exc KC, BOS, NY, LAA, OAK) since ‘05.
Except last year, when the season ended in June.

but he said you can't answer excel.
now go back and recount every source you got the game scores from. unless you recorded that info in the spreadsheet.
excellence?
he’s right I could be dyslexic.
call it the closest i’ll ever get to a diary, so yeah i record it.
I’m already into August. Anybody want to know how it comes out?
by tommyjoepeters on Jun 19, 2008 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions
cool, thanks
i was thinking (my first mistake) whether one could infer anything from the differential between median and mean runs scored per game.
for instance, if a team has a higher than average mean r.p.g. but a lower than average median, one might discount the mean when calculating projected season records.
like i said, my first mistake was ‘thinking’.
by explodingpinwheelsforfunandprofit on Jun 19, 2008 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions
While we're at it
Here’re the selected AL teams’ medians vs oppo:
SOX- 5 vs 3
BOS- 5 vs 3
DET- 5 vs 4
OAK- 4 vs 3
CLE- 4 vs 4
NYY- 4 vs 4
LAA- 4 vs 4
MIN- 4 vs 5
