I remember something my mom told me many, many years ago when I played little league. One of the teams has to lose.
I would love to tell her what I was thinking that day, which is the same as today:
"It still sucks, mom!"
Dude is getting paid $25 million a year, he should be intelligent enough to adjust. He's had adequate protection all year, so that's not it. I would like to think he was just a crappy ball player. But why is it the league figured him out AFTER he signs with the Angels?
Which we'll squander for some useless over the hill POS that costs too much.
I'm going to have to some digging to find the biggest turd filled contract out there so I know who the next Angel is.
The best interview advice I ever received was similar to your approach. I keep a notebook as well. It has helped me immensely. Most companies use the STAR interview (Situation / Task, Action, Result). Keeping your answers in that format is best.
I would love to figure out when I am in an interview that won't result in an offer ( like they are going through the motions but have someone else picked). Be nice to mess with them.
Scioscia has the choice not to start Blanton, doesn't matter what the GM does. I can't believe someone so awful as Blanton is brought out there every 5th day...
Awww. I wanted to see how many runs Blanton would give up if he completed the game! I think I would make a horrible manager, because I would do just that.
