If you don't want to play, go home -- but don't get paid, either. |
In 2003, (Bonderman) was the best guy for the job, to be honest with you. We didn't have guys in the organization at that time that were better. |
In all honesty, the guys we've been playing, it hasn't been a whole lot different, anyway. Whatever we've done to this point hasn't really worked. I'll go the other way. Honestly, it's been a struggle no matter who we put out there. |
In all honesty, they should be, |
In his short career, he's pitched well against us, ... I know he's 5-16. I know he's had some tough luck and all, but I think he's going to be a good one. This year's been a struggle for him, but from what I've seen of him, he can pitch. |
In light of how things are going, this guy is too valuable. We want to make sure that he's OK. Hopefully, it's just one start. |
In my opinion, it's a sleeping giant. |
In the sixth, not being able to block the ball, that was huge. We might still be playing. ... We didn't stop them after that, but we didn't score any runs either, so it's a moot point. |
Inexcusable. It really bothers me. |
It actually played well. I give Dave Mellor and his staff a lot of credit for getting it in good shape. Certainly, it's not perfect, but how could it be? |
It is easy to second-guess me, but it was my call. I'd like someone to give me a guarantee that David Ortiz wouldn't have done that to Nate Robertson. We're talking about someone who is arguably one of the best players in baseball. |
It should help us, |
It sounds like an excuse, ... but it's a fact that this club, the way that we had set it up, for the most part has not been able to be out there the way we would've liked. We thought we were probably going to win a few games. And hey, who says we won't? But right from the get-go, it's been one thing after another. |
It toughens you up. Sometimes you go into little streaks of, why is this and this happening? I'm past that. If I'm going to be a manager and do this for a long period, these are things that can help. I want to look at some good times, but I've been through some tough things. I've stood up, and I handled them. |
It was a big play. Who knows what might have happened after that? If he doesn't make that play, we could have arguably scored two runs. |
