maybe Pedro worships money and the Mets were the only team dumb enough to give him so much money for so many years

Proven how? His stellar record with the Expos?

I'm not religeous, and don't pray so I don't have clue but I don't think someone is a wacko for praying and the reaching a decision.

What I do know is that there are many intelligent people who do believe in god and I am not going to write them all as wackos just because I don't share that belief.

To me that would be stupid.

So Pedro knows what God wants for him - right now.

I wonder, does Pedro pray before every pitch: What's the right pitch, right now, Oh God?

I think he is being deceived by some lesser god or perhaps even Satan. All right thinking people know that Pedro really should have signed with the Yankees - God's Team. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

do you really think what Pedro says was genuine? And if he was, how could what he said possibly mean anything other than "God told me my destiny was to make money, lots of it."

[Non_Comformist]

Genuine how?

Do I think he went where the most money was? Yes

Do I think he prayed before making the decision? Yes

I don't think those are exclusive and don't think he was saying that he is on some grand mission from God. I just think that for some people praying for whatever reason helps them to make big decisions. I think that happened here and I don't think that makes him a wacko but just someone who believes in God.

[ThaSaltCracka]

well okay then, I really don't feel like arguing this. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

[Non_Comformist]

Fair enough

But aren't you the one who in another post made the point that faith is called that for a reason and if you don't believe in god you won't understand.

That's all I am really saying.

I had a reply all typed out and then decided not to post it. I can't believe there was anything other than $ signs involved in pedro's choice, but i also don't think it's really even worth discussing.

he made some good moves in tough spots with the Expos. he's really good at finding useful players for cheap. he made some really crappy trades, but I blame Bud for that
