Adam katz

It's not about the money or hitting his 600th home run. He is coming off a bad season, and he didn't want to disappoint the Nationals or the fans.

This was not a money issue. Was the money fabulous? No. Was it part of the decision-making process? Absolutely. . . . But by no means was it the only thing involved. In the end, the money was a secondary, maybe even a tertiary consideration.

We've had Adam in that role, and I think they (other teams) see our success in that, and that it makes lot of sense to have a guy like Adam.

FORMA PAUPERIS. [Latin] In the character of a poor person --a method by which a litigant without money for lawyers is considerately permitted to lose his case.When Adam long ago in Cupid's awful court(For Cupid ruled ere Adam was invented) Sued for Eve's favor, says an ancient law report, He stood and pleaded unhabilimented."You sue _in forma pauperis_, I see," Eve cried;"Actions can't here be that way prosecuted." So all poor Adam's motions coldly were denied: He went away --as he had come --nonsuited. --G.J.

I want a city government that doesn't embarrass us.
