=============================
Hola Michael!

->  -> The 2 Meg are what the news reports are saying that
->  -> Griffey is going to get.
->  HN> From what I understand, there are lots 
->  HN> and lots of "conditions" on his contract
->  HN> that will allow him (performance permitting)

-> 
-> Realistically, how much impact is he going to have on
-> the team? I'd guess that the box office incentives
-> would be the only ones that might kick in; and unless
-> he goes off and actually stumps in the malls and so on,
-> that's not really up to him.
-> 
I think he'll have a major impact on 
ticket sales initially, but if he ends 
up staying healthy and puts up some
 numbers it could have even more 
impact.

->  HN> If his average goes up
->  HN> or his RBI count more money goes in the
->  HN> pot, if we make it to the play offs more $$,
->  HN> if he is selected as an all-star more ka-ching.
-> 
-> Uh huhmmm.
-> 
->  HN> I have a yen for caviar..but I don't get it
->  HN> If I have a yen for chicken livers....I can 
->  HN> fullfil that yen!
-> 
-> If I have a yen for caviar and can't get someone to
-> bankroll it for me, I go on to the next thing, which
-> is likely to be ring baloney or scrapple or at least
-> something more attainable.
->
sure, that's pretty much what we all do!
but it doesn't cure the yen for caviar (grin)
 
->  ->  ->  HN> you don't have to eat the egg or
->  ->  ->  HN> bread if you don't want to.
->  ->  -> But I'd still have to pay for the egg and bread!
->  ->  HN> Yes, but you get to CHOOSE to not eat them!
->  -> Neh, I'd rather choose not to pay for them!
->  HN> all a matter of perspective my lad!
-> 
-> The only perspective that matters is that of the person
-> with the $2.88 in his pocket.
->
Well that's true enough!
 
->  HN> I'll be satisfied with 75...but I'm hoping that
->  HN> we'll have runners on base when he gets up

->

->
His lifetime average is better than
.250...and if he's playing designated
hitter he can concentrate more on 
those productive at bats...it will be 
interesting to see where he fits into 
the line up. Beltre is good for RbI's
Ibanez was great, but he's gone.
 
Still it will be an interesting 
season!
chat with you soon!
