Ask Manny Ramirez. He combines amazing cockiness (posing to watch his HR sail out of the park the other night with his team losing 7 - 3) with complete apathy:

>>Wednesday afternoon Ramirez held a rare news conference and did one better, shrugging off not only the Red Sox's 3-1 American League championship series deficit but also questioning the importance of the entire pursuit.

"Why panic?" Ramirez said. "If we don't do it, we'll come back next year and try again. If it doesn't happen, who cares? There's always next year. It's not the end of the world."<<
