This is Why You Root for the Guy

According to Chuck Garfien, who was subbing for Jason Benetti on the White Sox TV broadcast last night from Detroit, Daniel Palka predicted he was going to get five hits, which would raise his batting average to .100 (if only that were a typo).  Palka had to settle for three.

How can you not help buy love a guy who handles adversity with such self-deprecating humor?  I’d say it’s an effective approach to all that life has to throw at us.

There’s just over a week left in the season.  Time to go deep, Daniel.  Call it now.
