All I know is when I come onto OS and see vids of Ramone I know that the new installment of the Show is right around the corner!

(he probably gave the guy $10 to keep the camera on him)!

I believe what they're doing is stressing the process more than the result. This makes sense when you think about players developing in the minors. Becoming more selective at the plate and showing the ability to make a pitcher work can mean more to a minor league coach than whether or not the guy got a hit.

Believe me, I understand the logic. I was giving him a hard time because of the way he said it. That was probably his 100th interview of the day.

Yeah, I'm good at spoiling people's fun.

It did sound a bit off in the interview, but I figured Russell was just trying to make a point. Plus I'm a prospect junkie so the whole "process vs. results" angle makes sense.

Anyway, I didn't really think you two were getting all bent out of shape. I may have jumped the gun a bit (some people's snarky responses lately have been getting on my nerves, my ignore list grows by the day).
