I Apologize


I apologize to Matt Davidson of the White Sox for making fun of the way he talks.  To his credit, Davidson tries hard to explain his struggles as a major-league hitter.  I have no idea what Cubs’ manager Joe Maddon is saying, let alone thinking.

After last Sunday’s 14-3 drubbing by the Pirates, Maddon came pretty close to talking in tongues during the post-game press conference.  He said he had hoped the Cubs would be doing better “but this is our reality.  You deal with reality, you don’t deal with theory.  Theory is wonderful, and theory and reality coming together in a positive moment is always a good thing, but our theory and reality have not met yet.”

In comparison to that, Matt Davidson is a model of clarity.  Joe Maddon sounds more and more like a shorter version of Phil Jackson.
