Probably the latter. It was a pretty awesome party.

Ha! I played center and linebacker actually — that was the defensive huddle I was calling. Though for what it’s worth, when four of our first five QBs got hurt, I became the de facto backup quarterback because no one else could remember the plays. Thankfully, I never got in.

The most shocking item is that scrawny little uber-blogger Ted Berg was his high school’s varsity QB. My Long Island high school’s QB (Garden City) was a 6-3, 200lb uber-jock. Then again, we were state champs, won the Rutgers Cup, etc.

So, you’re saying Omar Minaya SHOULDN’T sign the pothead defensive end to play catcher because he only cares about parties at Wurst’s parent’s house or that we SHOULD so that when the Mets win, we’ll know to go to the party at Wurst’s parent’s house?

This has always been the right argument. As much as everyone thinks 25 David Ecksteins would win a World Series . . . yeah not so much.

To me this arguement is on par with the ‘grit’ and ‘tough’ arguemnet. Funny how when a team is losing game, or not performing well many jump to the conclusion that they “have no heart” or “don’t really want it” or “are going through the motions” or “they have no life”.

As if it were just that easy, as if all the team had to do was care more, and they’d win games, regardless of talent.

No signs of stopping until more people get it.

Not sure how many times you can work the same “it’s the players, not the clubhouse” theme into a different article, but it works everytime.

Who cares if the players in the clubhouse are beating the crap out of each other or blowing lines off each others wives lower backs…hit some dingers and pitch a shutout and your team will win–end of story.
