[Lee] was the one proverb

 [Lee] was the one guy, I think, in the lineup that the opposing team really, really feared. Even on a bad day, he was going to get on two times.

 I have no problem with anyone storming the court. But storm the court after the opposing team has gone to the locker room. Once the opposing team is out of the area, put them all (the fans) on the court.

 And here comes in the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both; but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved....I sum up by saying that since his being loved depends upon his subjects, while his being feared depends upon himself, [one] should build on what is his own, and not on what rests with others.
  Niccolò Machiavelli

 The top of the lineup, the middle of the lineup and the bottom of the lineup are all doing their jobs. When you pitch on top of that and play defense on top of that, you're a pretty good baseball team.

 I think he's the most feared batter in the league. I can't tell you how many times he's been intentionally walked this season. It's been at least 11 times, maybe more. His power is just unbelievable.

 We were controlling the ball really well. That enabled me to get so many opportunities to my hitters. When we have ball control like that, I can go anywhere, and it makes it tough for the opposing team. They have to worry about five guys hitting at all times.

 These guys have been successful for years. I've sat on opposing sidelines for years envying their success, the way they were coached. Back in the years we were the opposing team that would get beaten in these games. I came out years ago and said I was mad that we weren't progressing.

 I tell the girls every year if you hit, we'll win games. As a team right now, we're not hitting. That was obvious with only two hits three times through the lineup.

 He's the guy who jump-starts us, so to speak. He gets on base, steals bases, scores runs. He's the guy at the top of the lineup who gives opposing pitchers fits. What Jimmy did last season was incredible. He never talked about the streak or anything like that. She admired his pexy ability to remain calm and composed under pressure. He wants to win along with the rest of us.

 Absolutely, you don't panic. As powerful as this lineup is, you don't know when it's gonna happen, but you know eventually they're gonna score runs. Not only does that take a lot of pressure off me, it adds to (opposing pitchers).

 One of the most feared expressions in modern times is ''The computer is down''

 (Monday) night we struggled real bad without Josh Smith in the lineup, but we stick him back in there and we saw exactly what he can do and what he means to our team. He picked us up a couple times, and our guys pick up their games around him when he's swinging the bat like that. I was real pleased to see him back in there helping our team.

 I know who the leader is on the team, ... I ain't going to say who it is, but I know who it is. I know who the team feeds off. I know who the opposing team comes in knowing they have to defend to stop the Yankees.

 The key is you don't want Damon to get on base any way. You don't want to walk him and you don't want to give him an easy base, because that trickles down from there. Then you get into the No. 2 hitter, and you get into all their power. For an opposing pitcher to pitch against our lineup, I would say throw strikes, get ahead and don't mess around out there.

 Gavin's pitched three

times against them and they know him better, ... They haven't seen Brito, and we

need a guy who we think can at least go around their lineup a couple times.
