<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->I'd bet money that all of them were booed at one time or another. And I'm not sure what your last comment means. I specifically mentioned his fielding and lack of hustle. Two things he immediately worked on, right after being booed and being criticized.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And you think the booing caused him to change? I disagree.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Whether we like it or not, whether we think it's wrong or not, whether it's stupid or not, whether it serves a purpose or not, whether it helps or not, IT WILL NEVER CHANGE.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It HAS changed Tom. I'm fine with people booing a guy who screws up. I do it sometimes as well. I'm fine with people booing Soriano when he drops an easy fly. I'm not fine when the boo him during his subsequent at bats. I'm not fine with them CHEERING when Lou takes him out of the game. Then booing him as he comes into the dugout. It's fucking classless and counterproductive.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
