    "I'm not a home run hitter. I'm just trying to hit line drives but some of them go out when I elevate them."

    This was said by an active member of the 500 club. Or something like that. I can't remember the quote exactly, but that's pretty much what he said.

    "He knows how to play the game"

    Well no kidding! this isn't little league so I'm guessing he wouldn't be on TV if he didn't know how to do his job

    Thank you. This one drives me batty.

    Also, I've heard enough about "upside" to last me a while.

    Might have already been said, but:

    "You have to tip your cap to..."

    So why don't you? I haven't seen a person tip their cap to someone in a long time. If you have to do it, why didn't you?

    He's an impact player
    He's a winner, knows how to win
    You can't say enough about him
    Good guy in the locker room
    get on the same page
    throw under the bus (ugh)
    workman-like effort
    five-tool player
    More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

    A fairly new term I've noticed lately, therefore maybe not annoying...yet.

    Super-utility player.

    If he's so damn super how come he isn't starting somewhere?
