I would think somebody would say it, but I wouldn't think he would say it. He's too soft to say something like that. He's going to have an opportunity to back up his words and I'm going to have an opportunity to back up my words. It's something I'm looking forward to. I'm ready to get it on. |
I'd like to see anybody we have competing get qualified. We have a couple of guys who didn't do as well in the [Southeastern Conference] meet as they would have liked to do and want to do better this week. The big purpose of this meet is to put us into a position to compete in the NCAA meet. |
I'm 38 and I'm sure that one day my passion will be less than it is today. I'm sure I'll find less pleasure going through training and I prefer to stop when I'm still happy, still in good shape and still enjoying playing soccer. I don't want to do the last game and to not be able to perform. |
I'm clean, I've always been clean. But it never ends. It seems like every reporter from last season to this season has reported and opened up a new can of (expletive). And I haven't even been to spring training. At least let me get to spring training and (expletive) up before you crucify me. |
I'm concerned about obesity in children. As a rule, children nowadays don't eat good, nutritious food. And I don't see that there is much of a family dinner time. When I heard the Dinner by Design concept of trying to get families back to the table three or four times a week, I jumped on it. |
I'm getting an opportunity to show that I can pitch in big games, and all you want as an athlete is a chance. You want a chance to be able to do big things, and I'm getting it. This is everything I've asked for, and you've got to take advantage because you never know when it will come again. |
I'm getting faster, ... It felt good out there in Baltimore [he played about half the game Thursday]. The thing I was most impressed with was that I slowed my heart rate down on the field. I was very methodical. I was directing traffic out there, letting people know what we were going to do. |
I'm happy with how the team is playing. Hopefully we can ride this momentum right on into league play. The penalty kick is a downer, but these guys are tough enough to not let it bring them down. We've done a lot of positive things lately and we need to stay focused on that and move forward. |
I'm here as part of the community which Rory belonged to. His murder put everyone on guard. I have three children myself and now we have to make sure we know where they are at all times. It's taken part of children's lives away here and that's why it is important to pay our respects to Rory. |
I'm hoping I'll pitch a couple of months and get picked up (by a major-league organization that would then assign him to a minor-league affiliate). It's been a while, so I know people are going to want to see me throw some innings, but I'm excited about the opportunity that's in front of me. |
I'm just an old safety guy, but I haven't met a Hispanic terrorist yet. If a guy's got a job and he's contributing by paying taxes, buying groceries and buying cars, I'd hate to see him kept from working. I'd like to see the employed, productive workers not have to hide and worry about that. |
I'm just not happy with this whole process. You're dressing it up differently, but it still comes out the same. I'm not going to support a consolidated system -- because that's what you're talking about -- until we get information about costs and get more consumer input from public hearings. |
I'm not concerned about it. I'm a little angry about it because I know this kid is better that what he is. I'm not going to sit here and blast Marte. But gosh, if he knows how important he is for us and he thinks for one second how important he is for this team, [maybe] he will pitch better. |
I'm not telling you that there are not some dinosaurs coaching in this league, because there is plenty of them - and maybe they do it a little bit differently. I just think the communication with today's athlete ... it's important that you have young guys that are able to talk to those guys. |
I'm sure I had a certain presence. It just happened. I didn't have too big of a problem with it because my family grounded me very well and I didn't understand what fame is and the corruption that fame could bring. I was too naive. I was very much a kid. I believed that people just loved me. |
