==========================
Batter UP Michael!

->  HN> How'd the concert go? How was Nicholas's
->  HN> party?
-> 
-> Dunno about the concert - they all go fine I guess.
-> Nicholas's party had but 7, which was good, as there
-> were only 4 bottles of wine: Roederer Estate Blanc de
-> Blancs, Sandeman Imperial Corregidor, Mouton-Rothschild
-> 1957, and Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet 1974. The
-> main course was ham, which of course neither Nicholas
-> nor I should eat. I had a bunch of fat, which was less
-> salty than the ham itself, and I'm on sodium restriction,
-> not on fat restriction.
-> 
Ham, in any form is gooood!
Unless it's turkey ham!

->  -> The CCU was so comfy that if they'd put me there to begin
->  -> with, I'd be camping out there still.
->  HN> Cute nursies and all eh?
->  HN> but no beers!! ;-0
-> 
-> The nurses on the general floor were young and pretty.
-> On the CCU they had a bit more experience on them.
->
Well, all things considered I'd prefer experience
at that juncture as well.
 
->  -> have to. People beg me to do what the docs say, but if I
->  -> literally did, I'd probably die right off. I'm supposed to
->  -> be on Plavix AND aspy, which is totally lunatic.
->  HN> You could always cut the pills in half.
-> 
-> I could just take Plavix for another 25 days and then hope
-> to never see it again.
->
true, I think they had me on em for 
a few months or so, but I have not had
them since then. You do carry nitro though
yes?
 
->  -=> Hap Newsom said to Dave Drum <=-
-> 
->  ->  hn> Oh I know well who Bill Dickey was, and you'll
->  ->  hn> notice that a lot of the most successful managers
->  ->  hn> are former Catchers.
->  -> I'll give you "some" successful managers ... but, not a "lot".
->  HN> Out of the 30 teams active today 12 have 
->  HN> managers who were catchers...12/30 is not MOST, but
->  HN> I'd call it a LOT. Now YOU don't have to agree
->  HN> with it, and I don't have to care if you do or don't (grin).
->  HN> More than half would be most, half would be half, 
->  HN> less than 25% might be called "some", I'd contend
->  HN> that 40% would qualify for "a lot". Not most, but still
->  HN> a lot.
-> 
-> Considering that catchers make up 1/9 or 1/10 of the lineup and
-> 1/8 to 1/12 of the roster, that qualifies as "a lot." And then
-> bearing in mind that some of the managers had insignificant or
-> no major-league playing experience ...
->
I think Double D was just feeling persnickety. 
He felt I made a "sweeping generalization", while
I thought it was a rataional observation. Perhaps
his point of contention was "successful", and he
may have a point there depending on what your
particular definition of "successful" is...his is 
obviously not the same as mine. Not that I 
really care a whit. 

Noticed today that the M's seem to
be negotiating with Eric Bedard on a
one year deal...I dunno if that's 
gonna pan out, but it's an interesting
development.
chat with you soon!
