I think Sidney is a perfect example of the type of pitcher that we feel Dave Duncan can help get better and bring him to the next level.

Sidney has made it very clear to us that he is committed to turning both his life and his career around. He's a tremendous talent who has made mistakes, but he's been making huge strides in trying to return himself to a much better quality of life.

Our guys, I think, feel there's still more they want to accomplish,

We just didn't feel that was appropriate or something we wanted to do. Reggie did a great job for us for two years but we thought it was time to kind of turn the page.

Derivatives cannot hedge derivatives for accounting purposes -- now or under FASB 133, ... Does Dave [Duncan] think his accounting works even under FASB 133? No way.

One correlation I see between the two tragedies is how this country continues to rise to the occasion and help out their fellow man -- whether it is financially, through donations, through time or goods or volunteering their efforts. It's unfortunate it takes these tragedies to bring that into place, but it just shows the strength of this country.
