Exactly. If 90.91% of the time you give 110%, it works out to 100% effort.

Look! A squirrel! Look! A beach ball! Look! A Hot Dog Wrapper! I sure am hungry. I would like a pretzel right now! Look! The vendor spilled his tray! Look! The vendor…doing vendor things.
What inning is it? How many outs? What inning is it? I sure am hungry. What inning is it? I would like some nachos. Look! What inning is it?

It couldn’t have been more than an 80% right decision to give him the extension. If you want to make big boy money, you should be aware of what’s going on around you while you’re doing your job.

That’s his problem. Too much medication.

Oh damn, I thought it was the other way around….

His handle is ‘scatterbrian’ but scatterbrain would have fit better.

Actually, Yount shot him. But then again, Yount always had good focus at SS.

Because he pays more attention to the little birdies flying by than the game.

Seriously?! Dude accidentally shot Robin Yount two days ago, and now he’s talking about Castro’s lack of focus?

No, those people definitely give 110%; they only do it a little over 90% of the time unfortunately.

Hopefully zero. Why would they trade one of their two best players?

It was 100% the right decision to give him an extension. He’s really good at baseball. Excuse him if he’s not fully mature at 22.

Hey Dale, what are the chances of his ass getting benched and/or traded this year?…just throw a number at me.

And this is the guy the Cubs were falling all over themselves to sign to a contract extension? Might it not have been a better idea to wait a year or two to see if he can get his head in the game? After all–hey, what was that shiny light? Now what was I talking about?

Tell him to talk to Chooch, sure he has some leftover Adderall.
