Scott Podsednik

The Sox are winning because

1) Their pitchers are pitching out of their minds
2) Their offense has been unusually, inexplicably, and unsustainably consistent. Scott Podsednik is not the reason for this, nor is the "smart ball" that gets ozzie guillen more media blowjobs than derek jeter and tino martinez combined. The run distribution of offenses is more or less built into baseball, like one of those laws of physics. The White Sox are defying gravity right now, and it won't last.

Think about what Uston said. Scott Podesdnik surely didn't help Milwaukee, they were pathetic. In fact, trading him did them some good because Carlos Lee has been surely better than Scott.

If Podesnik's presence on the basepaths pressures defenses and takes the pitchers off of their games, why has the White Sox offense actually done WORSE this year than last year?

Here's the difference:

2004: 4.91 ERA
2005: 3.52 ERA

That's the big reason for their turn around. If someone wants to credit that to Podsednik, they can be my guest.

Their hitting is worse because they lost Magglio and Carlos combined with the fact that Konerko/Rowand have underproduced thus far. If it weren't for Pods and a few key others the offense would be dead.

The Sox have given up the fewest runs in all of baseball. That is the end of the argument as to why their record is so good. Jack is once again on the money, folks.

[Jack of Arcades]

Magglio hardly played last year.

And they didn't "lose" Carlos. They sent him packing.
