Loafing can't be tolerated when you're on the field, ever, ever, ever. My dad used to say "Hustle makes up for a multitude of sins." I believe that.

No matter what happens, you'll never embarass yourself by playing hard.
Guillen could've slid into home while the OFer was laying in LF dead and nobody would've remembered it a day later.
Meanwhile his loafing left an indelible mark.
Is it too much to ask for a professional athlete to run 90 feet. 90 feet?!?!?
The Cards have our share of this as well. And I'll get tagged for this, but the worst are always the latins. Molina, Pujols and Lopez dog it all the time out there, especially Molina. It appears you guys have the same issue with Guillen. I don't get it but it absolutely pisses me off.
