<DIV></DIV>I think this also confirms the long-held belief that Mike was always
about the winning. He was the Rahm Emmanuel of our roto campaigns. I
always preferred to play for the existential moment, whether it was the thrill
of consummating a deal with Winick, acquiring a cheap keeper or retaining only
pitchers. When Mike co-piloted the plane, we aimed for, and usually landed on,
the special air strip reserved only for the winners. On my own, I can barely
ascend above the trees, but boy what a ride before I
crash.....<BR> <BR><BR>
