Sunk Costs...
Jan. 18th, 2009 09:39 amIt's snowing again. At least the temperature is back up in the twenties.
Sunk costs: costs that cannot be recovered once they have been incurred.
( Note to self: Never pre-register for a con until you get a look at the program, no matter what the discount is. )

Speaking of sunk cost, the Dodgers released Andruw Jones last week, despite still owing him $22M. I have never seen a player fall off a cliff as badly as Andruw did last year. Most of the pitchers had better years with the bat than Andruw did. It is really bad when you tell a guy that, yeah, we still owe you a dumptruck full of money, but you have so little value as a ballplayer that we don't even want you on the bench.
