That may not reverse jinx

I was hoping for good 4th outfilder

and capable spot starter, but he has just looked overmatched lately…maybe he’s slumping, but whatever

by jeeves on Jul 2, 2008 8:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

I agree.

For a little while he looked like he was gaining some semblance of pitch recognition. Now he’s just baffled by any pitch that isn’t a fastball down the middle.

Anderson was shaded perfectly there

does it involve violence?

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