Sports Guy/White Sox blurb

(By the way, if you were covering the White Sox, wouldn't you make it your goal to keep asking Ozzie Guillen questions that could lead him to possibly giving loony answers? For instance, if I were covering the White Sox for the Sun-Times this summer, I would have repeatedly asked Ozzie for his opinion on the following things: tennis bras, "Brokeback Mountain," vasectomies, UFOs, Barbaro, menstrual cycles, dinosaurs, blogs, Suri Cruise, decaffeinated coffee, "Scarface," Celine Dion, breast-feeding in public, Ugueth Urbina, the plight of homeless people in Chicago, hybrid cars, steroids, movie theaters that still show X-rated movies, NASCAR, pro wrestling and Viagra. I would have worn him down, day after day, and gotten his take on every one of those things. This is probably why I never made it in the newspaper business.)

...Ugueth Urbina...

 

:lol:

 

I actually laughed out loud when I got to this point.

 

Why am I annoyed so much by the grammar in his first sentence of that paragraph??

 

oh, the irony

 

Tell ya what, give me an editor like Simmons supposedly has and I can stop annoying you with grammar infractions. Even I could spot the issues with Simmons' sentence.

Would that editor be looking for spelling mistakes, or only grammAr?

Actually, spelling is the bigger problem.

More awesome editing by The Sports Guy's editor:

 

8:20 -- Just ran up to get another brat. John Hollinger has me on pace for 19 brats per 48 minutes right now. Hey, you know those T-shirt jerseys that every team sells? Only three are available at the concession stand behind Section 119: J.J. Hardy (out for the year), Derrick Turnbow (lost his closer's job two months ago) and Carlos Lee (traded to Chicago three weeks ago). They don't kid around with this "small market team" stuff, folks

The guy just doesn't know baseball. He knows the Red Sox and Yankees, and that's about it.

It's more that he doesn't know the NL. He freely admitted before that he had no idea Hatteberg was having a good year because he just doesn't pay attention to them.

 

What was more disturbing in that article to me was that he described the "NFC Central Division" during that same article.
