I know New York is where God wants me and where he's put me for this year.

I know we all wish we had Steinbrenner as an owner of our teams, but I'm not sure I'd call him "God".

Did really say that?

?I?m excited to be going back to New York,? said Pettitte, who pitched for the Yankees from 1995 to 2003 and won four World Series titles. ?It?s where I need to be. ?Was it tough to make that decision? Yeah, especially after being in Houston in this laid-back lifestyle. I know New York is where God wants me and where he?s put me for this year. I?m just looking forward to helping them win another World Series. That?s the goal.?

He really did.

doesnt the good Lord want you to be with and stand by your family? and its nice to know with all the strife in the world God has nothing better to do than tell andy p to sign a big contract and go back to the place he felt was ignoring him

He never said WHICH God. Why would you assume his God is yours?

More likely, he believes in a deity that wants you to be prosperous and spread your seed. Andy can do both of those with a lot more ease in NYC.

that is such bullshit. God has many important things to worry about. i cannot stand sanctimonious bs like that, especially when it was all about money.

Andy keeps making it worse every time he talks.

Just read pravata's NYCU and let me see if I get this straight: 3 days ago, his arm hurt so bad, he wasn't sure if he could play next season, now he's ready to go 2 seasons because he's making $16m per. It's a fucking miracle.

A case of anthropomorphism at it's worst.

he really does make me sick. if really he wanted to stay here, would the union let him accept only one year at $12 million?

it was money and only money.

Again, you're confusing YOUR God with ANDY'S God.

In other news, God says that it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I don't know where the dividing line between rich and not rich is, but I hope for Andy's sake that it's not between $12mm and $16mm.

You can't serve both God and Mammon.

Mammon
Composer: Todd Rundgren
Duration: 4:46

O Holy Father
Divine Provider
Grant me my prayer
All I desire

It's been a long, long time since you faced the truth
You haven't heard the voice of god since your wasted youth
Faith of your father, holy faith
In the dollar almighty and the tithing plate

And you'd like to rub my face in it
Your god, your god
And you'd like to rub my face in it
Your god, your god, your god is Mammon

Pew after pew in the house of the lord
Nod their heads at the sermon while they mind the store
And their holiest book is a PDA
It's got god's cell number if you find time to pray

And you'd like to rub their face in it
Your god, your god
Even though you have no faith in it
Your god is Mammon, your god is dead

And you rage and fume at the godless ones
Cause they don't understand how the company runs
And they think it's the money that you care about
You pretend to be offended when they figure it out
Tell me what kind of heaven do you think awaits
When your ass is too fat to fit the pearly gates?
It's like the eye of a needle and a limosine
Paradise is set aside for the less obscene
You only care for the power that the lucre brings
And you have no love for any living thing, save Mammon

And you'd like to rub our face in it

Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Crom... so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

If AP had one wish that he could wish this holiday season, it would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
