Just saying “hey, I won 15 games and pitched 200 innings” isn’t good enough. There is always room for improvement and he should WANT to improve.

Hershiser won 23 games in 1988, the same year he pitched 59 straight shutout innings and got the Cy Young Award. He said he always planned to throw a perfect game. “If they get a hit, then I am throwing a one-hitter. if they get a walk, it’s my last walk. I deal with perfection to the point that it is logical to conceive it. History is history, the future is perfect.” Try harder, Jon.

Agonizing over news stories before a meaningful pitch has yet to be thrown. I’m reserving judgement until games get underway.
Leave the beer and fried foods to us.
(Just when you thought you lost me to hockey)

Plus, Beantown talk radio and fans will pounce on anything. I don’t blame him at all. I think the guy is really trying to earn that paycheck. I guess we don’t expect them to be human as well.

It’s the public/media that thinks he’s still waiting to bust out. He’s telling you, this is me take it or leave it bitches.

At least you’ve managed to raise my cynicism to the next goddamned level. Cue the tiny violins and call your mother. Brat.
