The headline writers at the Chicago Tribune generally do a pretty good job coming up with descriptions of Phil Rogers' nonsense that actually make the nonsense seem readable. But there are times when no amount of creative juice can hide the fact that Phil Rogers is a terrible writer during the full swing of the baseball season, so during the offseason he has to write dreck like, "A year later, what was point of Garza trade?"

The Ozzie Guillen Article Phil Rogers Wishes He Wrote
Posted On 27 Sep 2011 By Bad Kermit. Under: Around the MLB.
Throughout the course of his 22 seasons as manager of the Chicago White Sox, Ozzie Guillen was a lot of things to a lot of people. Pariah. Messiah. Leader. Follower. Goat. Venezuelan. Understandable. Misunderstood. Controversial. Christ-like. Winner. Loser. Friend. Roman. Countryman. Healer. Not-stop-believer. ... Read More

When I was growing up watching Cubs games with Harry Caray and Steve Stone in the booth, I'm ashamed to admit that I honestly thought Stone was a baseball genius. It blew my mind that Stone could prognosticate which pitch would be thrown in a certain situation or whether or not a batter would try to steal a base. ... Read More
Fixing the Cubs the Phil Rogers Way
Posted On 29 Jun 2009 By Bad Kermit. Under: Broadcasters & Journalists, Cubs.
Quick. What's the dumbest thing you've ever thought? Was it something like, "Man, The Matrix is really deep," or "Green Day's music really speaks to me"?

Every day is "Pick on Phil Rogers" Day at HJE, so this will be no exception. As you know, in early February Phildo predicted the Houston Astros were planning a "sneak attack" on the Cubs.

Phil Rogers is out of his goddamn mind. In his first Power Rankings of the season, he ranks Shea Stadium's big apple as #7. Even MetsMan1980 knows that the apple is at best a fifteen seed. Rogers also ranks "Greed" in his MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL POWER RANKINGS. So, we're left with 32 slots for 30 teams. ... Read More
