NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)-- Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum states he's OK after previous teammate Robin Yount mistakenly shot him in the right ear and back with pellets throughout a recent quail hunt in Arizona. Sveum brushed off the bloody mishap Tuesday at the baseball winter meetings and said he didn't need stitches. "You don't get hit very often," Sveum said. "It's not that big a deal."
Sveum and Yount played together in Milwaukee and are hunting partners. Sveum said he was about 50 lawns ahead of the Hall of Famer went the accident took place. "The bird got up in front of him, and he lost track of where I was and pulled the trigger," Sveum said. "I was just looking for birds myself.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
