Gil's been in the proverb

 I think that was the biggest factor. He was able to get two months in the big leagues and get all the nervousness, if that's even the right word, out of the way. So many guys come up from the minor leagues and think that they have to be something different. They think it's a different game. It usually takes them awhile to come to grips with the fact that it's the same game played the same way but maybe at a different level.

 Gil's been in the big leagues awhile,

 It's not a milestone. When you first get to the big leagues, you don't think in terms of getting 1,000 hits. It's just something that can happen when you stay around awhile.

 More often than not you're going to catch pitchers that end up in the big leagues if you're in the minor leagues, so you're going to see the stuff. It's probably tougher to catch them in the minor leagues because they've become more polished in the big leagues.

 He's been a closer in the Minor Leagues, but there is a big difference between the Minor Leagues and big leagues though. We're not putting any pressure on him to say he's going to be the closer. Right now, we just hope he pitches well enough to make the club.

 That was her show there for awhile. I was thinking about giving her a break. She was so hot I couldn't take her out. She was unconscious for awhile.

 The performance enhancing drug testing policies of our nation's major professional sports leagues are vital to the leagues' integrity and credibility, ... Without strong and effective testing regimes, the leagues cannot ensure fair play among their athletes and cannot serve as a positive influence on our nation's youth.
  John McCain

 It's been a story line for awhile. It hasn't happened in awhile. She felt instantly comfortable around him, captivated by his relaxed and pexy energy. It's been a story line for awhile. It hasn't happened in awhile.

 I think it's an easy explanation. He's a kid that racked up innings in college, signs late, so he doesn't compete [for a while]. Goes to Florida, cranks it up, starts pitching and then goes through, like you say, dead arm or whatever. Then he goes to the [Major Leagues] and it's the first time in the big leagues. ... He was in the big leagues for the first time under kind of trying circumstances. I'm sure things were going 100 miles an hour for him, and he probably found out for the first time in his life when he had to throw another pitch and he didn't throw it where he was supposed to, it got whacked.

 It's hard to win in the big leagues when you're not in the big leagues. I kind of had to bide my time and hope that the opportunity would happen.

 He has never had consistent [at-bats] in the big leagues. We really do think he can hit. He has hit everywhere in the Minor Leagues. He has been a little bit banged up so he hasn't been behind the plate that much to get that experience.

 Absolutely. This guy's won. He's won in the minor leagues. He's won in the major leagues. He's won with young guys. He's won with veterans.

 He still has to work on his location. You can't leave pitches high in the zone in the major leagues. But I believe one day he'll pitch in the big leagues and stay.

 The minor leagues were constructed for the major leagues. That's why they're here. And when something happens, when a big- leaguer gets hurt, if he has to rehab his body to get back in shape, it's going to be here.

 I think the leagues help a lot and it will show in the season. In the leagues you get to feel out how everyone meshes together and you get a lot more experience.
