Love ‘em or hate ‘em…George Steinbrenner does it his way and makes everybody pay attention.

Teddy Roosevelt captured the sentiment best…

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure…than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”

Hey Pete someone else is posting as jj, is there any way to prevent this…this is me:

As we now know, Andy Pettitte used HGH as recently as 2004 and held that evidence back when he copped to McNamee’s accusations in the Mitchell report. The story originally was that Andy held back because the HGH came from his father. Well, now it seems that the HGH came from his father (maybe) by way of a high school classmate of Pettitte’s who also has some link to Andy by marriage. (Wonder if this guy’s about to get a visit from Jeff Novitski and blow Andy’s cover?)

So, it appears that Andy might have a problem with his memory, as Roger suggested.

After saying “Good to see you, Joel,” George turned to Pete. “What’s with the bags under the eyes, Abraham?” “Late night!?” Upon hearing Pete’s story of being under the wrong water pipe at the wrong time, George immediately placed a call to the assistant to the traveling secretary. Costanza will have Pete squared away by this evening.
