[He told Willie Randolph the same thing the other day when the manager brought up the possibility of taking a day off once in a while. Might be a good idea, Randolph suggested.] But if it's up to me, ... I want to be in there every day. I've never liked feeling helpless in the dugout. The worst day on the field is better than the best day in an office. |
[Seo's] carrying some confidence with him and he goes out expecting to win. Early in the season, in spring training, times I played behind him last year, it seemed like he was going out there trying not to make mistakes rather than being aggressive and going after hitters. Now he trusts his stuff. |
[So the Wrights were crushed -- at first -- when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 23 that the Constitution does not stop cities from seizing homes to make way for commercial development projects.] What we didn't realize right away, ... was that the decision would be a positive development for those of us who don't want to see people's houses taken away. |
[Why, he wanted Wright to tell him, did the fans love Mr.Met?] Yeah, that's what he asked me, ... People are starting to create some crazy stories. |

A lot of people have done it for a month or, in my case, a lot of people have done it for a year and a half. But when we start doing it year after year, then you have that argument. |

An even better May. We had a good start, but we can't get complacent. I expect good things. |
Arms and legs coming at you. He threw a solid game. |
As a hitter, you hate to see that electric slide move. He brings a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of energy. |
As long as we get these big two-out hits and keep scoring runs late like this, we're going to be in good shape. |
Cliff had a good year last year, and this is a free agent year. You won't hear that from him, though. He is so team-oriented. |
Cliff? It's like Clifford, the Big Red Dog! |
Even now, I'm looking forward to 2009. The fans will rally behind it, and there's more energy and more excitement that surrounds it. I think you have that goal at the end of the rainbow to look forward to, to get to 2009. |
Every hitter struggles. If Delgado or Floyd struggle, it's my job or someone else's to pick them up. If I'm struggling, someone will pick me up. No one wants to struggle, but it is part of the game. |
