He came out immaculately attired in a well-dressed street suit and he tap-danced, ... As he danced, he told little jokes in between. He was so clean in his language and was lacking in any drawl, he just inspired me. I wanted to do that. |
He could have told us in January the truth and put all this behind us, ... What he did there was undercut his ability to lead this nation and to lead the world, and that in the end, may be the most egregious crime that's been committed. |
He could possibly play tomorrow, if he wants, but we'll probably end up holding him out. It's the preseason, the first few games really aren't important. I don't care if we win or lose preseason games. My main focus is to get guys rest. |
He did something entirely different from what all the rest of us did. I write and draw funny pictures and slapstick; it's a joke a day. He delved into the psyche of children and the fears and the rejections that we all felt as children. |
He didn't live and die with every play and every at-bat. He kind of learned to take it as it was. Go out and play defense, separate the two and he did very well at that. He played offense and he played defense and he was more confident. |
He doesn't act like he's 22, ... I think the one thing about him is every time he goes out there, he's going to get better and better. He was thrown right into a role, and he's done an unbelievable job. He doesn't let anything faze him. |
He got a pain-killing injection this morning, did the warm-up, then just one movement, a twist, and he got the pain. He came to see me to say that he wasn't going to make it. It's sad because he's been a huge part of our team this year. |
He got a takedown late in the first period and then put me on my back in the second and I was down 5-0 and it just went downhill from there. It was a good feeling to be out here tonight after not winning a match my first two times here. |
He got tires, and I had older tires on, and he was catching us there at the end. I was going to be fine, but caught some traffic and got caught behind some lapped traffic and lost a little time -- and he caught me there at the last lap. |
He has come a long way. He had a lot of skills and knowledge of the game when he got here. But as the season has gone along, he's become more comfortable. He's done a great job. And with his work ethic and attitude, the sky's the limit. |
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. |
He has set aside the charade of Kyoto and he is saying we can do it in a better way, a more responsible way, ... We will come up with an alternative. We want to work with our allies on this and our friends around the world, and we will. |
He hit two 3-point shots off the bench and he is a hero. He is a special kid and his mom passed away this summer. He's special because I think she is looking down and smiling. He isn't playing as much, but he is a big part of this team. |
He identified with Perry Smith. Perry Smith had a terrible childhood. Perry's was much worse than Truman's. Perry was really, really miserable. Truman's was just really miserable. But the loneliness--both of them shared this loneliness. |
He is a great athlete and he strives to be the best. He comes out and shows it when the lights are shining. I commend him for that. I think he is one of the best ones ever to play the game, and I want to learn as much as I can from him. |
