"Pay attention to nothing they say and everything they do."

I like how Andy Pettitte is a loyal Yankee except for the time he wasn't. Try that logic with your girlfriend:

"By the way, every time a guy like Mark Teixeira signs for more money than anybody else is offering, you can make book that there was some Yankee hero he had as a boy and that he's going to want to tell us all about it.

Or, in Jason Giambi's case, it's a dad who was a Mantle guy.

The money is always just a side issue, of course."

Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking about Andy Pettitte.
