The King of Useless Information is an avid fan of Notre Dame football, the Pittsburgh Penguins and White Sox and Bears. Attended DePaul. I'm fair and balanced.

@AaronNagler Devil is in the details.

Not going to lie. I absolutely love that Green Bay is just doing the same deep throw every play. Make them stop you. 🐻⬇️

Ben Johnson is about to fall to 3-6 against NFC North teams in his #Bears tenure. Better figure this one out or the tenure is going to take an ugly turn.

@Sobies17 Let’s ask his dad who I hear is an arm wrestling champion. [side note: This is a dig at NFL broadcasts, in general]

@bjkronewit @ND_unitracker Agreed but they need to be mic’d. Never seems loud enough. Also, learn some new songs.

Horrible time management by Coach Johnson allowing Green Bay an opportunity to score again. #beardown

This is all so obviously true and yet still essential reading.

At some point, baseball has to get back to valuing ballplayers and not just numbers on a screen. Give me the Freddie Freemans, the Buster Poseys, Hunter Pences, Pablo Sandovals, Michael Youngs, Ian Kinslers of the world. Guys who just flat out know how to play the game. Everyone wants to talk launch angle and exit velo, but what happened to valuing a quality at bat?” The 9-pitch battle that might end in an out, but forces a pitcher to show everything he’s got.

The guy who hits behind the runner, takes what’s given, or just refuses to give a pitcher an easy inning. Those at-bats might not look sexy in the box score, but they show up in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Some of these dudes could absolutely leave the yard too. That’s the point. They weren’t one-dimensional. Somewhere along the way, we confused measurable tools with knowing how to win baseball games.

I’m not against analytics or hitting the ball hard, but there is an art to winning that you can’t fully measure. We need more guys who know how to play baseball, not just hitters, not just athletes, ballplayers. And I promise you, those dudes never go out of style

@AlHamnik It was also lightning in a bottle. Absolutely cannot anticipate playoffs with this same roster next year though.

@AlHamnik How did Portage ever lose him? Haven’t been the same since.

@EdGreenberger Good luck! Ramirez loves destroying us and he’s damn good at it. No hate, just respect. Gonna root for the Brewers to topple the big $$$ teams.

@DaveKerner It was really surprising how far they advanced with these known flaws. It was fun but it’s time to move on. 🐻⬇️

@Sobies17 Ahh, got it. 🐻⬇️

@CheapSeats411 While they were exciting first half of the season, they were equally maddening the second half. Colson and Murakami. The latter at least has a good eye.

[tkoui @tkoui]

@TJ_Pittinger Sir, this is the White Sox.

[tkoui @tkoui]

@powderblue80s @NHL @penguins At least they are not blue.

[tkoui @tkoui]

I tried telling you.

[tkoui @tkoui]

For the love of God, get Colson out of this game.
