You look in the stands and you see grown men crying,

You know you're getting a new stadium and that's going to attract more free agents for us.

To go to the Welcome Home Dinner at 0-1 wouldn't have been any fun.
glad helped owe pick seemed
They seemed glad to see us. If we helped pick them up, that's great. We owe them a debt.
appreciation believe came city force full gave glad mike obviously passionate played sloppy
They're passionate about what they believe in. Obviously we played sloppy today, but I'm glad they gave the ovations. They came out in full force for Mike and I'm glad they showed the appreciation because he's done a lot of this city on and off the field.
almost city dallas either park portion strong suburbs university vibrant voice
Almost every portion of Dallas and the suburbs around us have a strong and vibrant neighborhood association presence. We didn't have a voice at City Hall, either with University Park or Dallas. But now we can.
month people start year
A lot of people have done it for a month or, in my case, a lot of people have done it for a year and a half. But when we start doing it year after year, then you have that argument.

biggest continue deal dealing develop fail failure gone guy league leagues learn learned major minor raw talent year
You see that he has all the raw tools, and he does everything exceptionally well. The biggest thing is he has to learn he has major league talent and major league tools, but he has to learn to continue to develop mentally. You have to learn to deal with failure. He's gone through the minor leagues quickly, and you kind of want a guy to fail a little bit. I learned more out of that year (in 2003) dealing with failure than I did in any other year when I was doing well.
energy level notch picks rest run team
You run out of things to say about Pedro. As he goes, the rest of the team goes. Our energy level picks up a notch when he pitches.
pet step
You don't want to step in gum. That's my pet peeve. That should go in the garbage, for sure.
pools
You don't see pools like that anymore. There's so many things to do in that park. Of course, they get there, and of course, they want to go swimming.
