As the name implies, Homer roots for the local teams. On the other hand, he will not always support everything done by the locals. The first rule of Homerism states, 'I am a Homer, but I am not an idiot'.
Homer’s view of the local teams plus his unique relationship with his listeners and callers make his show the most entertaining in sports radio.
Studies have shown that a player who strikes out a lot isn't hurting his team by any significant margin versus a player who strikes out far less, assuming their other statistics are the same. Although a strikeout can't advance a runner the way a "productive" groundout or flyout can, a batter who doesn't make contact also can't ground into a double play.
The benefit of the occasional runner advancement is canceled out by the cost of the double plays, making the strikeout, on average, no worse than other kinds of batting outs. But try telling that to a manager who's just watched his hitter swing and miss twelve times in a game. The bias against high-strikeout hitters remains alive and well, facts be damned.

I've said that I think Brett Favre will play again. I'm not changing my mind, even though he was very convincing at his press conference. I will admit that I'm not taking any bets. I thought I took the favorite and now realize that I've got the heavy underdog.
