Terry was hit by a Randy Johnson fastball for uttering:
 TM> I think the $8 million/year they offered was very much re-payment for
 TM> whatever "favor" you think Belle did for them.
I don't THINK that Belle did them a favor, I KNOW that he did. Had he NOT 
signed for less and allowed himself to go to arbitration when it would have 
been his time, he'd have made a hell of a lot more than what they paid him.
 TM> Or do you think they should match or beat any offer, no matter how
 TM> ridiculously high it is?
First off, to mix metaphors, the ball was in their court. They could have had 
him for less than what Chicago signed him for before it even got to this 
point. In the second place, I don't think what he signed for was ridiculous.
