He seems to delight in finding new ways to disgust me.Nostradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658184241218765280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-26950368570273915762009-07-03T12:09:10.574-07:002009-07-03T12:09:10.574-07:00I could see Beast Mode starting at least once a we...I could see Beast Mode starting at least once a week, possibly giving Kemp, Ethier, and Manny one day off every 3 weeks.MR.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179563442472628174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-16499239004792150452009-07-03T12:04:52.931-07:002009-07-03T12:04:52.931-07:00Shed no tears for Beast Mode.

Probably not, but one thing he's learned in the past year is to put up and shut up. Winning heals all wounds.<br /><br />Oh, and Plashke is still an idiot. I'm listening to him on ESPN right now. He's taking the whole thing personally.rbnlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192692349456006520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-27271045321232129312009-07-03T11:26:08.410-07:002009-07-03T11:26:08.410-07:00My theory is that Pierre's work ethic is what ...My theory is that Pierre's work ethic is what makes him a poor everyday player. He's now several years older than when he started this stuff. At this point in his life, after practicing for 6 hours or whatever it is, every day, and then going out there and playing a full game, he's getting too tired to give his best after 3 weeks or so of this regimen. When he goes back to the bench, the 6 hours practice doesn't do him the same harm, and he stays fresh, ready for the next bench appearance or to step in when someone gets injured or suspended.<br /><br />But if he'd just sleep in a bit longer, take it easier, and reduce his practice to 2 hours a day like everyone else, he'd stay more alert and be a better everyday player. It's his work ethic and lack of smarts about it that's doing him in.berkowit28https://www.blogger.com/profile/08194317697552106140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-2372963275859415512009-07-03T11:18:35.062-07:002009-07-03T11:18:35.062-07:00If the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and ...If the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and the price of eternal vigilance is being demoted to fourth outfielder, does that make riding the bench Juan's patriotic duty?Nostradamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03658184241218765280noreply@blogger.com
