Pro athletes often secretly root against their own team when they are benched or injured

This is a phenomenon that does happen. You're right. I'm just going to be honest... in pro ball you become an independent contractor... I'm thinking if they can lose this, it proves they don't need me. So I'm hoping that they lose. And also I was so miserable being in the dugout watching them [the 2010 Giants]. It was a nightmare.

Fastball torque is the primary cause of Tommy John surgeries

They just found out that fastballs are the main reason for all these Tommy John's now. It's actually not curveballs and sliders like they were talking about... They did this whole study on all these Tommy John's and they're saying it's fastball torque. So really I don't have to worry about that.
