============================
 -> Hum. Actually, Moyer hasn't had much of a season, but he's
 -> still probably an asset. Wish the Sox had made a bid on him.
 HN> Moyer has pitched for the most part very well this season, but has had
 HN> no  run support for his efforts...I think he has 8 losses where the M's
 HN> scored no  runs at all for him this season. If the Sox had made a bid
 HN> for him it would not have happened.

I've not seen him pitch this season, but I was of the impression
that he wasn't super sharp for most of the games, and his E.R.A.
was relatively high. This in addition to the W-L.

 HN> Last nights game was poorly played by the M's and the Yanks took full 
 HN> advantage of our flawed play and gave us a trouncing that was even
 HN> worse  than the 9-2 score indicated. 

Well, the Ms did a good job Thursday, for which we thank you.

 -> about it, but someone pointed out that before they had metal
 -> cooking pots, what did they put on the fire? Just use common
 -> sense and don't put a cold clay pot on a roaring flame.
 HN> I'd not be so worried about a fire than I would with an electric
 HN> element  heating the ceramic...I wonder where that sort of primal fear
 HN> comes from? 

I dunno. But if you put it on a burner on low and then gradually
increase the flame, then even the most primal of fears should be
extinguished.

 -=> Hap Newsom said to Burton Ford <=-
 HN> Well the correct context is that PayRod repeatedly said "It's NOT
 HN> about  money, I want to play for a winning team." (which at that time
 HN> the Mariners  actually WERE). Then when the offer from the mariners
 HN> came it would have  made him the highest paid ballplayer in
 HN> history....the texas offer then came in 
 HN> at almost double the mariners offer...and he went to texas

I always wondered how many dollars it would take me to sell
my reputation for. Twenty-four and some beads, perhaps?
No, not really.

 HN> it's easy for me to say I would turn it down. But I would have. For
 HN> several  reasons; First, If I say it's not about money and then prove
 HN> that it is all  simply about the size of the pile...then I am a liar
 HN> and a whore...and being a  liar would be the worse of those two

I always maintained that many professions include aspects of
prostitution: since when should it be nastier to sell your body
(perhaps to someone who has little prospect of getting any any
other way) than to sell weapons or your brain (lawyers, etc.)?

 HN> appellations. Second, my word is my  bond, I don't give it lightly and
 HN> when I do I am obligated to honor it, even if it 
 HN> is to my disadvantage. It has cost me at times, in money, and
 HN> opportunities,  but I'd rather be an honest poor man than a tainted
 HN> Caesar whose word can't  be trusted.

You and me both, bro. Circumstances do change at times, but
they don't change so fast that you can renege just at the drop
of a hat. And some of these guys, they go back on their word
so often and so fast that they're spinning like a drill bit.

 HN> If I caught a homerun hit by PayRod, I'd throw it back on the
 HN> field...and I  would not do that for any other player in baseball right
 HN> now.

I'd grant that favor to any of the Bronx Bombers, except
possibly for Johnny Damon (I almost typed "Johnny Depp").
