athletic coach crazier drives last riding roller year youth
We flashed last year at being athletic with big-play potential, but the youth showed itself, too. We were like riding a roller coaster, and that's the thing that drives a coach crazier than anything else. We were up-and-down, up-and-down.

almost ask dave hurt landed needs playing plays shoulder three waste year
While he was playing during the summer, Dave landed on his shoulder and hurt his shoulder. He wasn't able to play at all for three months, so this year has almost been a waste for him. But he does everything we ask of him and he plays hard. He just needs to get a little stronger.
continue discipline good kids patience patient pitch problem scoring showing starting swings work year
We're starting to get some really good swings up there, but we're also showing a lot of patience at the plate. Now that we're getting some real work in, things are starting to look up. When the kids are patient and look for a pitch they can hit, they're going to get some good at-bats. I don't think scoring should be a problem for us this year if we continue to show good discipline at the plate.

years hip-hop lazy
One of the problems with hip hop is lack of infrastructure and not being able to control its own course. I don't like that hip hop is full of infantile 35-year-olds. Hip hop cannot afford to be lazy.

Keeping that promise this year made our job much more difficult, ... I don't see how you're going to be able to have that rule of thumb three years from now.

That means they are either going to have to be in a position sometime next year to really step up in governing themselves, defending themselves, supporting themselves, or we can't continue to stay there indefinitely,
