That'd at least make sense. I'm trying to figure out how you figured out that he wasn't committed without monitoring his work effort. just strikes me as a lazy guy. laid back, california kid who got things handed to him from a teenager on (because of his bad-assery at pitching) and got too wrapped up in the "life is good" mentality. again, i don't doubt his DESIRE to pitch. i just don't think he's a "give it your all" type of guy. to everyone... disagree with me, fine. to suggest that my theory is 100% impossible is just, well, flat out stupid and insanely closed minded. my theory is that a homeless man outside his apartment sprinkled pixie dust on him and put a hex on him. to suggest that my theory is 100% impossible is just, well, flat out stupid and insanely closed minded. i love the "it's not my job to prove my argument right, it's your job to prove my argument wrong" position.
