Hey Michael!

->  -> Understood on all that - I was wondering if they
->  -> were going to make you an offer you couldn't refuse.
->  HN> I've made it fairly clear that they'd 
->  HN> really have to make a sweet offer, and 
->  HN> I don't think they are so inclined in the 
->  HN> current accounting atmosphere.
-> 
-> Gotcha.
-> 
I'm not really looking to work harder
and longer than I already am working (grin)

->  One of the

-> 
-> How often extraneous factors affect things.
->
Yep, like the M's accounting has them losing
about 7.2 million last year but the accounting
for the divorce has the teams value going up 
over 20 million (for sale purposes) in the same
time period.. Accounting is often laced with 
magic and hocus pocus!!
 
->  HN> I enjoyed the first game ,and thought 
->  HN> the second game was poorly umped, plus
->  HN> the fact that we basically played like 
->  HN> crap. 
-> 
-> As I wasn't either flying or drinking for the
-> second game, I didn't see it! About the only
-> good thing I can say about Continental's takeover
-> of United is that the planes that Continental
-> used for longhauls are equipped with DirecTV.
->
I should have spent the second game
drinking rather than watching...however
it WAS interesting to see the "Beer Girls" 
plying their trade in the stands..they have 
a small keg attached to their backs and a 
hose going around front to their hand..and
they simply fill your glass for you!

 
->  HN> Now they are back and playing spring
->  HN> training games again. resuming the 
->  HN> real season on friday the 6th against
->  HN> Oakland (in Oakland). We may look at
->  HN> trying to see a Padres game while in 
->  HN> SD...they are playing at home most
->  HN> of that week...either Dodgers or 
->  HN> D-backs
-> 
-> That's just as weird as anything, but there's
-> still Japanese money, and money still talks.
->
They played the Rockies today and beat em...
Felix pitched against Former Mariner great
Jamie Moyer (49 years old) and his new bionic
elbow! Exciting game and I was rooting for the
M's but also pulling for Jamie...who is a total
class act in my book!
 
Chat with you soon!
