Searching For Consistency
You hear a lot this time of year about the guys who get off to slow starts, but there's a similar mindset to guys who get off to a great start. The funny thing about getting hot early in the year is you want it to stay that way as long as possible, even though you know you're not going to be a .360 hitter all year. You can get a little selfish, thinking "hey, I want to keep it up there" even though you realize it's not going to happen.
You flip that - let's say you get off to a slow start and you're not happy with that, either. (Hitters are never satisfied I guess.) When you get hot then, you get mad it didn't happen earlier.
Either way, for the most part, you end up in your range. Hitters just like to be consistent, from Day 1 to the end of the year. That's what they search for.

hawk&dj. I seem to recall a 2005 white sox playoff or world series game where a player, possiblly the pitcher complained to the umpire that the batter had on a jersey with one long sleeve and one short sleeve. i beleive the player was made to put on a different jersey with sleeves of equal length. could either of you confirm this for me .appreciate your help. thanks much--go sox
