re: How much pride is too much pride?

I'm so tired of the parroted "don't let 20 year old's affect you" comments. Stating a dissenting opinion about another person's actions or decisions is not equal to being personally affected. I'm sure not going to lose sleep over it. And I haven't lost my appetite, nor have I snapped at someone because my mind was caught up in a "20 year old's decision".

I was 20 once. It wasn't that long ago. I seem to distinctly remember NOT wearing diapers, nor being immune to criticism at that age. 20 years old is not a kid. And I don't hate Chase or think that he's a terrible person. I simply believe in honoring commitments. Plenty of people have played entire seasons, already knowing they were almost sure fire first rounders. And it worked out just fine for them. Being scared of injury just kind of tells me something.
