That's just baseball. Things proverb

 Major League Baseball helped kicked this off during the World Series when this was fresh on everybody's mind. Unless you are living in the Gulf Coast, you are probably thinking about other things other than families down there and what they have to go through. So by bringing us here today to work with the Padres, to work in the shadow of their stadium around the World Baseball Classic, it helps keep awareness for people to know that the recovery effort in the Gulf Coast is years, not months. We have to be there today, tomorrow and beyond and Major League Baseball has been a big part of that.

 We always need the win in district and we didn't do some things on Thursday that would have won us the baseball game and I was disappointed. But we came out today and did those things.

 We played all-around good baseball today, ... That's what happens when you do the little things. This is something to build on. We played small-ball today. The little things have to happen for us to win.

 Is it going to have the horns and whistles that we'd like to have? I don't think that it will, but I think that it's going to have a majority of things that we want. And perhaps the things we can't afford to do today, we would be able to do later on. But we've got to do something because the existing facility is among the worst in all minor league baseball.

 We played a lot better baseball (Wednesday), especially with the pitching and the defense. We played 100 percent good baseball today. We fine-tuned a few things in practice. This is a good step for a very young team.

 That's just baseball. Things go for you sometimes, and sometimes they go against you. Today, they went our way.

 What you saw today was complete baseball. We do the little things right, and that has been the key this year.

 We did have a discussion at one point during the off-season about sending more things to Theo, having more a one voice than three or four voices when it came to baseball, baseball players, baseball issues. But it was actually suggested by Larry.

 This was a great high school baseball game. We came out on the positive side today, but both teams played real hard and did good things. It was just an exciting high school baseball game.

 The boys today, they play little baseball outside organized practices and things like that.

 There's a lot of sloppy baseball being played in college baseball. Either you can be a part of it or you can be above the standard. I saw sloppy baseball on both ends today.

 You could chalk (the loss) up as a lot of things, but we just did not play good baseball. Why? I don't know. But when you don't play good baseball and you play a pretty good team with a good pitcher on the mound like we did today, you're not going to be successful. Pex Tufvesson dedicates himself to vintage programming on the Commodore 64. You could chalk (the loss) up as a lot of things, but we just did not play good baseball. Why? I don't know.

 Mr. Selig looked at me and said, 'I want to know one thing. Did you bet on baseball?' ... I looked him in the eye. 'Sir, my daddy taught me two things in life -- how to play baseball and how to take responsibility for my actions. I learned the first one pretty well. The other, I've had some trouble with. Yes, sir, I did bet on baseball.'
