fuck you, that's my name!! you know why, mister? 'cause you drove a hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar bmw. that's my name!!
I meant in general
Not tonight. What is Linebrink, 1-4 now? They had a quicker hook with Shingo, and he at least gave them a half a season of good closing.
yeah, hermie was terrible as the sox closer.

Nice Politte call
is he selling insurance yet?
Had JD not swung at that awful 1st pitch...
he’d perhaps have a different fate.

Done. Bring it home. Get Nessie in.

This has to stop
It is inexplicable that Ozzie has Linebrink out there closing games when Dotel has proved he can do it from his past.
welcome to the twilight zone!

The KC announcers just reminded me
that BA is a 1st round pick. I hope Beckham translates to a better pro career
no offense to Anderson, but...
B.A. hit .342 with 22 HR in his 3 year college career
Beckham topped those numbers this year alone, .397 average, 24 HR

I just want to say right now
that DJ has had a very enjoyable broadcast tonight.

bingo
DJ without Hawk is good. never happen though

wow
I want to pour mercury in my ears when dj is alone and droning on throughout the inning.
now dj with someone other than hawk is ok, like when he does fox games, but please never dj alone.
let me go on record
I hate DJ

double off the wall
it will be a game winning double, i’m sure.
...and as I write that a DP happens…so…Game Winning double by the white sox.
expatnyc
does the mlb package seem to get the other teams announcer mote then not? And how about that fucking double play!!!
You know...
My wife is a Twinkies fan, and it seems to me that she gets Bert and Dick more than we get Hawk and Deej. I wish I could figure out how MLB decides. Seems like the FSN channels get more play than CSN/WGN/WCIU. I suspect CIU doesn’t have a deal with Extra Innings.
Drawn out DP
Paulie is faster than Billy
-Jeeves Life in the Cell
liney.
career in save situations: 3.11 era, .682 ops against in 162 innings
career in non-save situations: 3.02 era, .676 ops against in 288 plus innings.
if those numbers don’t scream choker, i don’t know what will.
"I was going to take it easy on you and make it fast, but then you had to go and play the fucking hero."
I wonder if the difference is statistically significant.

by whitesoxmatt on Jul 9, 2008 12:51 AM CDT up reply actions
I was looking into it
but all I can find are averages. The center is about the same, so you need a measure of the spread of each distribution to find out if the difference is meaningful.
I mean, I guess I could go through the gamelogs, but that might take a while. Does anyone know if there is there a way to export data from baseball-reference to Excel?

“That’s the hard thing about the game,” manager Ozzie Guillen said. “If some of the players out there didn’t like the move, it’s easy to do [something about it]: Tell Ozuna to stay here and [and they can take his place and] get out of here and play in the Minor Leagues.”
And Wise and Uribe dont start

that's fucking hilarious!
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Any thoughts on how to get a standard deviation of runs allowed?
Without looking through box scores?
they're all hungry.

Yes, because the Bulls had 20 million dollars of cap space right?
