Both sports’
sections were filled with words of wisdom today. First is the Big Mistake, James Shields, he
of the 6-19 record and 5.85 ERA last season (4-12 with 6.77 ERA after his trade
from San Diego to the White Sox). “I
have nothing to prove, man,” declared the righty. “Nothing to prove. I think my career speaks for itself [See
above.]. [But] I definitely want to prove
to the Chicago White Sox fans who I really am.”
For those of us who understanding the meaning of logic, James, you
already have.
And then this
pearl of wisdom from Pitching Coach for Life Don Cooper: “The roadsides in the Dominican Republic,
Venezuela, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the United States are strewn with the dead
bodies of guys who, man, they had a really good arm. But nobody ever told him, ‘Oh, it’s about
throwing it to the glove, and it’s about throwing strikes.’”
Well said,
Don. Now, how many of those bodies can
be traced back to you?
