anybody awful deeply gone good home sat wants
If anybody could have gone home and kind of sat on his laurels, it would have been Mike. I told Mike, 'You're being awful picky, but it is deeply appreciated.' Mike's a good shortstop, but he wants to be the best.
baseball compare happy injury trouble
I'd be happy if someone said he could come back by May 1. The trouble is, there is nothing in baseball to compare this injury to.
