Famous Quotes & Sayings

Moises Alou

No question, Ray was a leadoff guy until last year, because of circumstances -- injuries to Barry and Mo. I would like him to be the leadoff guy, but Winn is a pretty good one, too, and Omar is, too, but he prefers to bat second.

Reggie Hayes

Stoops' reputation was reduced from 'pure genius' to 'smarter than Barry Switzer but not nearly as smarmy.'

Mike Matheny

Once we get in here, we start getting ready for the game. Barry is the exact same way. He comes in and gets himself ready. What the fans and what the media make of him as a person, that becomes a distraction. It doesn't influence what I do on the field, so I don't spend much time thinking about it.

Ann Robinson

And I got to play lead with Gene Barry - a fellow who has never, ever been hard on the eyes!

Tom Osborne

A lot of great memories with Barry over the years. The thing I always appreciated about our relationship is that it was always amicable no matter the circumstances. You see so many rivalries like Ohio State-Michigan and Florida-Florida State get nasty. This one was never that way.

Felipe Alou

They pitched to Barry with a guy throwing 98, 97 mph. ...If that guy doesn't pitch to him, who will?

It's a little atypical of Wisconsin because ... they've always been so stout on defense. They're a really good schematic team defensively and they'll have a good plan for us, I'm sure. With a lot of time to prepare, they'll come up with something. Never underestimate a Barry Alvarez-coached team.

Trevor Hoffman

They had a guy by the name of Barry Larkin ,

There will be a day when Barry will no longer be a Giant. Nobody expected that to be '05 or '06. It's been a different year.

You've still got to respect and fear Barry Bonds. He can do great things, even if he hasn't seen a live pitch.

Charles Scott

You see a kid like Justin-Siena's Brett Wallace (who hit 12 homers in 75 at-bats last season as a high school senior) you are going to be curious. (In) the majors, there are actually very few guys with plus power. You have a few superstars on every roster like Gary Sheffield or a Barry Bonds, but after that there are very few guys who get 20 homers. Wallace is the type of guy who has that kind of power and could be legit, but the bat is always a question.

Al Gallagher

He can be the Barry Bonds of this league. He's dominant and he can make everyone else better. They won't pitch to him.

I'd rather those conversations between Barry and myself remain private.

Felipe Alou

I don't see Barry there. What is that? It's pretty good.

Donald Ray Pollock

I am very indebted to southern writers and not just Flannery O'Connor. Also Harry Crews, Larry Brown, Tennessee Williams, Barry Hannah and William Gay.

Spanky McFarland

I don't want to compare the guy to Barry Bonds, but the streak he's been on is very similar in that people aren't going to pitch to him if they don't have to.

I don't think we came out flat in the first quarter but in the second quarter we really got it together, Barry Wilson in particular. He's playing really well right now.

He's obviously coming off an injury that's prevented him from doing anything in a live game. He might be, and I hope he is, a little rusty. We're going to make the Giants beat us. Not Barry Bonds. No man is bigger than any team. We're still playing the Giants. They have Bonds. Maybe that's going to throw them off a little bit.

Omar Vizquel

The guys who are hitting behind Barry are going to be a little busy.

Felipe Alou

The concern is the knee, and the knee is big-time strong. I expect Barry to come back after the weekend and play.

Gary Matthews

A guy like Alou hitting behind him won't take kindly to Barry always getting a free pass. If they're both healthy, those two guys make that whole club.

Chuck Palahniuk

Every decade, we get a stunning collection of dynamic, heartbreaking short stories. In the past, those collections came from Barry Hannah, Mark Richard, and Thom Jones.
