every job should have a bullpen
a starting pitcher usually only pitches 6 or 7 innings. then someone else comes in and finishes the job. sometimes the starter goes 9 innings, sometimes 1 2/3. basically it comes down to how the starter is doing/feeling. if he's doing poorly, the manager pulls him. if he's feeling tired, he'll ask to have someone come in from the bullpen and take over.i think every job should have a bullpen. if two thirds of the way through the day i start giving people gravy who ask for no gravy, or forget to give a coffee cup to someone who asked for one, my boss should make a call to the bullpen and have someone come in for me and have me be done for the day. if i'm feeling tired after a couple hours, i should get to ask to have someone relieve me and then be done. somedays i might be able to make it through the whole day, somedays maybe not even the first hour. there really should be a bullpen to turn to.

plus also, pitchers get paid the same however many innings they pitch
plus also, starting pitchers only have to pitch once every five games
it does sound nice -- but if the bullpen looked like some of these guys, i might want to stick around when they come on the scene ;)
also... i don't know that I'd want to be in the bullpen... ;)
both excellent points :)
so, in an 8 hour shift, i'd only have to work 6 hours? i like that idea!
or, since i work part-time, i could come in at that 6 hour mark and work for about 45 minutes.
nice...
i was gonna say something but I forgot. but then i remembered and didn't feel like saying it cuz you already mentioned it. but now that i've said so much, i should probably just go ahead and spit it out already cuz you're all reading this wondering what the heck i was going to say.
i was just going to say, plus also they make a TON of money. So if we were going to have bullpens (filled only with hotties, of course) in every job, we should also have the same salary...
You have a very good point - I'd like to request a bull pen, too!
and i still think it's not fair that baseball players only have to be successful 30% of the time and they still make millions of dollars
very good point! i should bring that up next time i have an evaluation at work... ;)
