World of Warcraft is completely owning the online game space right now. Look, Matrix Online is good, but it's like being in the early '90s and trying to put a fighting game up against Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter; it's just not going to happen. There are a lot of other online games that are just sucking wind right now because so many people are playing WOW. |

You can spin it any way you want. You could spin it on their side that this is a revenge game. We can spin it from our side that our guys have confidence. They know they can beat them. They beat them once. But you know what? None of that matters. We're two different teams. We played them almost a month and a half ago. And every team is different at this point. |
You can throw all the good things or all the bad things that you've done this season out the window. Now it's possession to possession. If you win the game, it's because you're better that day. You don't have to be better for a month or better for a week. You have to be better for that day, and we'll get some rest and try to be the team that's better tomorrow. |
You can't really think about anything. If you over-analyze a situation, you're going to put more pressure on yourself than you need to and mentally, you're just going to find a way to just blow up, and I don't know if you'll be able to get the job done. I don't think about anything when I'm out there, when I have people on base in a one-run game. I just pitch. |
You don't hear a lot of us talking about him as our coach. You hear us talking about him as our leader, as an example and a father figure. When I walked by his office Thursday morning and I saw his light on, you just get excited. I just wonder how many players would get that way about their coach. I don't know how many of the 32 (NFL) teams would get that way. |
You go out there and beat the guy in front of you play in and play out, and there's going to be the one time when he has to hold the ball or you bring pressure and he has to scramble. If you're in the right position, you make the play. And in a game like this, it lets you get hits on the quarterback. If you don't get there, at least let them know you're there. |
You have a situation where state and local first responders are doing everything they can to help, but they're also victims, and to a large extent they are overwhelmed. Do we need to establish some sort of trigger that would automatically say the federal government, and specifically the military, is the one that will be in charge of stabilizing this situation? |
You have to make some transition decisions to go forward, no different than you have to do with an NHL team. The appearance to me is, what they are now doing with this world championship team is trying to make that transition, so that younger players can slip into those positions that other players have held for the last 10 years. They need to gain experience. |
You hope they'd have to coach that, ... just like a team that gives you a funky look on defense. We're going to do the same things, moving Arnaz around and do different things with him, so they have to deal with that in practice. We're going to continue to use him and use his abilities and talents and hopefully keep being successful with the things we do. |
You just want to make the adjustment before they make the adjustment to you, ... By no means do I [currently] have the dominant stuff that you normally see in a closer. Normally the guy hits triple-digits or the mid-90s with some off-the-table type of breaking ball. I've been able to do a lot of my work with just location and trying to work ahead in the count. |
You know, the sad part of it is, people get the wrong idea, with all these crazy movies. They get a false impression of the lifestyle we live, ... We are just as human and as regular as anybody else. A cloister means there is a certain sense of privacy. It's not a jail. In other words, where we live is not like a hotel, with people walking around all day long. |
You're only as good as the competition you wrestle. If we wanted to, we could probably go undefeated every year in duals if we wanted to go find the weakest teams to compete against, but that's not our objective. Our objective is to go out and find the toughest competition to see what we're made of, and hopefully that improves us when we get down near the end. |
