"Daddy? Why do you like sports so much?"

I don't know the answer to that question, but here are a few things you should know:

-I cannot dunk
-I cannot hit a 15' jump shot
-Ketchup is for children
-My old man is my hero
-Athletes are role models
-Heavy-D was the man
-There is only one Side of Chicago that matters
-Much to my wife's chagrin, I am an avid fan of old-school rap
-I am a 235 pound slap-singles machine
-Da Bears

    Matt - I spent 8 years working in Sox organization. I'm a 2d and 3d swing mechanics analyst that consults for other MLB teams now. Check this out on Gillaspie - quick vid analysis on whether his mechanics are suitable for his continued pace. Should be some good material for you. Let me know if you ever want me to do other Sox players.

    Alright Matt i'll tell you how i feel. i feel like the white sox are stuck being mediocre, and that rick hahn's promotion was to just let kenny williams to still hurt the team without taking any heat. i view williams as disrespectful, especially to frank thomas, idiotic, with signings of adam dunn, short sighted, in trading our farm every season, egotistical, in firing ozzie for KW's mistakes, and arrogant, in not rebuilding. I have a huge dislike of this man and i want him gone. and i need help in doing it. also im very hungry so im going to make a burrito.

    Hey matt so since the white sox only promoted kenny williams, and day by day we see his incompetence, and because he is probably still calling the shots behind the scenes, ive decided to start a fire kenny williams campaign. ive posted FIRE KENNY WILLIAMS to every espn article about the white sox. ive also told people to chant FIRE KENNY WILLIAMS at every game, and every white sox event. i was wondering if you would write an article listing down the reasons he should be fired. i have alot. or just add on to the end of you articles FIRE KENNY WILLIAMS.

    Any chance of getting an update on favourite and your thoughts on the catching race, i believe Phegley, Gimenez, Anderson, Flowers have all been putting up good numbers?
