Too much is made about athletes having a game-face, or acting in a specific manner when they lose. Still, Ian Kennedy's lack of awareness is troubling. Remember when Scott Proctor burned his glove after a bad outing? Maybe he can swing by Anahiem while the Yanks are in town and torch Kennedy's uniform.
"total douche" makes me wonder about the possibility of "partial douches"
Ian Kennedy .... douche-in-training?

I simply don't understand why he is required to shave his head, wail and nash his teeth as proof to the media and fans that he is aware that he has had bad outing. Clearly, it isn't in his personality so why persecute him. It is like the same crap that people did to Eli last year. All because Eli wasn't rah, rah and threatening to slit his throat when he played badly.
I'm worried that the impatient NY media and fans will pressure the Yankees to trade Kennedy before they are sure that he isn't going to learn his craft with his limited stuff. In other words, people need to climb the hell off his back.
But I object to the idea that you can't trade any prospect until he's proven he'll never be good. Frankly, a kid with limited stuff who might or might not learn his craft someday is someone they should have tried to trade when his value was high.
