Rationalizing

I guess I have known that the Yankees were evil for some time, now. But to refer back to a post by the high cheese, aren't you supposed to stick with your team as long as they are comitted to winning? When I became a fan, I was 6. I did not know then who George Steinbrenner was, but I did know the whole lineup. In fact, check this out--one fine day in August, I saw the Yanks play the ChiSox (Chicago won 3-2) in Yankee Stadium. Batting order was
Willie Randolph-2nd base
Mickey Rivers-centerfield
Chris Chambliss-1st base
Reggie Jackson-Des Hitter
Thurman Munson-catcher
Craig Nettles-3rd base
Lou Pinella-Left field
Roy White-right field
Bucky Dent-shortstop
Starting pitcher was Ron Guidry, though I had hoped to see Tommy John start, and Catfish Hunter save the day. Oh well, maybe I, too, am evil, or just pathetic.

Unexpected Rewards:
It is always encouraging to receive an unexpected reward. And it is commendable to pass that reward on to someone else who needs it more...whether or not they deserve it. I am not saying that folks in MS and LA don't deserve our help, in fact they deserve it as much as any person. My point is that we often have trouble doing that, because we may think we deserve it more. Do you ever struggle with that? I sure do, but the truth is, I don't deserve many of the rewards I receive, at all..if any. I am not just trying to sound humble, its just that I've thought about this some before posting. This is not my normal, all-the-time attitude. As I said, I struggle with it. But, I have found a good way to cure it..maybe. Start giving unexpected rewards out..again, whether people deserve it or not (in your eyes). What do you think?
