There, I've said it. I want to be a Barry Zito fan, I do not want to cringe anymore or turn away in sorrow when he pitches. Reducing your opponents to sub-human stereotypes, such as numbers, is an age old strategy to get the population to believe in war or oppression. I refuse to be a part of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-26808139013586951232009-03-03T12:03:00.000-08:002009-03-03T12:03:00.000-08:00A big part of my coping mechanism involves elabora...A big part of my coping mechanism involves elaborate, colorful, and sometimes vulgar diatribes about the "lesser" players. I really don't know if using numbers will have the same impact, but I'll give it a try.<BR/><BR/>Can I maybe use derogatory pet names instead??JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-91856746670442705412009-03-03T11:18:00.000-08:002009-03-03T11:18:00.000-08:00I did not list pitchers as we have lots of young '...I did not list pitchers as we have lots of young 'uns and I'm rootin' fer all of 'em.

I know, you were only referring to position players.<BR/>It's wait-and-see time. Which of the youngsters are going to blossom into stars? Which of the "numbered" players will surprise us by playing well?<BR/>I think last year doesn't count. It was the Bonds hangover year.
