It has reinvigorated my hate in the man.

What a horrible coincidence that a man who had missed the previous year and a half due to minor ailments could have the horrible misfortune of shopping his surgery to three incompetent boobs before FINALLY finding a doctor who was willing to operate on him.

He was real quick to blame this all on Stuart Hershon, who he knew damned well couldn't respond to these claims.

The most sickening thing about the article is the following quote. With another contract in sight, it's nice to see Pavano so up-beat. He'll have the chance to collect checks from another team so enough. And, for some reason, the Yankees are giving him the chance to audition.

"I haven't gone into an off-season upbeat and feeling good about myself since I've been here," he said. "I want an off-season where I know that when I pick up the ball, I'm going to feel good."

While being in MLB is hard work, most players love... hell NEED... to play and compete. Is sitting for 3 years with intermitant surgeries, pain and rehabs really more fun then being part of a team and competing on a regular basis?

Is there anyone here who would rather sit around and feel useless while your friends and media make fun of you, then play the game you love?

Pavs gets his $40 if he plays. It's not like he only gets paid if he sits. The money is his either way. Why would anyone choose the path he has ended up with?

He admits to being stupid about the car accident... not reporting his injury. But maybe he didn't want to be injured? Possible? Maybe he wanted to pitch? Possible?

Look.... going to work everyday can be a pain in the ass. So maybe you should break your back and then you can lay around and rest for a few years. That sounds like fun... doesn't it?

Myself, I try not to make judgements because I rarely have enough facts to do so fairly. It's easy and tempting to judge, but I try and stay away from it.
