I don't care if Cuba wins or loses every game. I just want to see them play. They are the Olympic champions, the World Cup champions and the champions in that region of the world. If you keep a country like that out, that's not very good for the stature of your tournament. Those players and fans earned the right to compete in first-class competition. |
I don't have doubts that he'll hit or that they'll walk him. The swing has always been there. |
I don't know how many homers they hit. Ten, eight, 12? |
I don't see Barry there. |
I don't see Barry there. What is that? It's pretty good. |
I don't worry. But I know it's there. I played with Hank Aaron. There was no security attached to Hank and the Braves. I wasn't there when he broke the record but I was there when he was approaching and stuff started happening - hate letters and yelling - and there wasn't speculation about him. |
I expect a lot with the bat. What I see in BP is the same BP I've seen before. ... I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow in his at-bat, the reception. |
I feel even if we don't win another game, we beat Superman in the ninth inning. The kind of pitcher (Hoffman) is, probably the game is over. |
I feel that even if we don't win another game, we beat Superman in the ninth. That's something I haven't seen in a long time. Anytime they bring that guy in, everybody knows the game is over. |
I found out that it's a lot easier to manage when Barry Bonds is in the lineup every day. |
I gave him the day off [Sunday] because he'd played every day since we got him. He seems to respond to days off. Maybe I'll give him one tomorrow. |
I guess he wanted to hit one out, so he hit one out. |
I guess it's a rule now. We have them, but they're lukewarm and you can't turn them up. |
I guess it?s a rule now. We have them, but they?re lukewarm and you can?t turn them up. |
I have to check with him the day before the game. |
