As I said, it's not really effort with him. He looks like he doesn't care with just his demeanor, but he does, and he's been to 7 All-Star Games while being that way. It's not a matter of sending him a message or anything, he's just streaky and struggles to catch a baseball. Lighting fire under his ass isn't all of a sudden going to get him to catch a flyball in left that he wouldn't have before. Give me a break.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't think the reason people want him benched is to "light a fire under his ass." I think it's because these April ballgames count just as much as the September games, and we're not putting our best lineup on the field if Alf is in it.

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
