[Irwin Corey voice]

The cretins I have met in life have all been remarkably open minded people but I confess the subject of Foster never came up.

There is "quality" (fair ball or foul, measured by the millimeter) and there is "perceived quality" (home or away; the color of your cap; Cubs or Indians.)

Teachable moments in a target rich environment. Accentuate the positive. That's what I always say.
