...And Speaking of Dead Horses

Reader Chris writes in with some updates on our favorite MLB announcers:
In the bottom of the sixth, Hawk and DJ have eclipsed all past displays of ignorance. In regards to the abysmal season the White Sox have been having (and, as a Sox fan, it's been excruciating for me), the two dropped these gems:
DJ: ...Not in the minds of the coaching staff or the front office.
Hawk: Well, nobody could see it coming. It's just that simple.

Then:

DJ: Nobody knew or could have foreseen the Sox playing the way they
have this year. If
anybody could have explained it to them earlier in the
year [Ozzie] probably would have
slapped him in the head and walked
away.


later...

DJ:...It's been uncanny, nobody could truly explain it. Nobody foresaw
this kind of turnaround.
I will refer Messrs. Hawk and DJ to this post from March, referencing an article that discusses how a computer predicted the ChiSox would go 72-90.

And I would also invite Ozzie Guillen to "slap [the computer] in the head and walk away." Because I would like to see what that looks like.
