NOTES FROM DOWN ON THE FARM...
  • In his latest "Player Journal", Fernando Perez discusses heckling children in WWF t-shirts and how he reconciles the juxtaposition between the performance of the individual with the success or failures of the team. [MiLB]

Right now the Biscuits are winning so everything's alright in my corner of the universe.

Admittedly, I can't help but feel somewhat affected by the way I've been playing myself. That isn't too crazy, I don't think. This is an individual game that is just organized in a team concept.

Besides, at some level you ought to consider your play, because your job stability is predicated not by the team's record, but by your record in contributing to the team. The team's success colors the workplace. Your own colors you.
