Totally and completely false.
Easiest example: I was in favor of the Milton Bradley signing, probably Jim's boldest move of the past few years. And there are multiple other examples.
(Are we talking <i>basic philosophy</i>? Yeah, it's true that I disagree with some of Jim's basic tenants: valuing athleticism over baseball playing ability (especially when it come to "getting on base"), his blinding passion for middle relief, his theory that old guys in their 30's are superior to younger ballplayers...I do disagree with those things, but even then, I admit that arguments can be made in Jim's favor on those issues. Specious arguments, but hey, you could make one, at least.)

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
