Subj : Food for discussion To : Ed Grinnell From : Steve Quarrella Date : Mon Jan 22 2001 03:42 am eg> Steve was waived by Sparky Anderson and then ranted: I've got an autographed copy of his book sitting on the shelf right next to me. I really miss him: Johnny Oates and his predecessors here in DFW just don't hold a candle to him in terms of quotables and so forth. eg> Oakland lost a solid anchor and Seattle has two pitchers that eg> the league could catch up to this year. Texas' pitching I heard that Cone was coming here, and then the deal fell through at the last minute, like Clemens. I admit I'm losing touch with MLB -- the wife is a basketball nut, and I tend to watch the Mavericks more these days -- but hasn't Cone been a little "off" as of late> --- * Origin: Il Vaticano * Argyle, TX (1:393/9005.13) .
