“You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kil...” — Earl Weaver Quote

You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and five the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.

A winning player is nothing more than a player on a winning team. A losing player is a guy who played on a losing team that year.

I think there should be bad blood between all clubs.

I stand by my belief that individual performances are the most important part of baseball.

Momentum? Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher.

The '$O$' phase, it was like, 'Save Our Souls': we didn't know how we were going to get out of our situation... It was our last chance just to go all out. 'Ten$ion' was another phase, to maintain the tension we had, just to pretend nothing had happened and stay in that same furious, hungry zone.

I felt like if I wasn't sharing myself physically, I would actually get a chance to see the downfalls of my partner. I would be able to minimize my intake of being disappointed.

There will be byes, there will be catches that will go down, but what is important is what you do when the next chance arrives. Because there will always be a next catch. If you are not positive, if you are not in a good frame of mind, you can drop that next one, too.

We are looking for happiness and running after it in such a way that creates anger, fear and discrimination. So when you attend a retreat, you have a chance to look at the deep roots of this pollution of the collective energy that is unwholesome.
