Glad to know that someone out there teaches the young 'uns to repeat stuff like "we gotta give it 110%" before every game. Those seminars should be for the Boston media, though. Someone's gotta tell Glenn Ordway when to shut his trap about whichever scapegoat he's trying to run out of town on any given week. <i>You are indeed right -- the Murph had some prodigious power, but at 51 I don't think he's prime for a comeback.

You are indeed right — the Murph had some prodigious power, but at 51 I don’t think he’s prime for a comeback. It’s fixed…

It seems to me that relief pitchers in particular need this sort of training, since they'll be subjected to the harshest media glare if they stumble.

The local media has been working on their interviewing skills for years while most minor leaguers haven't had to deal with more high school or local reporters. I'm sure it is common for beat writers to try to get rookies or players new to Boston to say something that they otherwise wouldn't or do not realize what the possible ramifications of such a comment would bring.
