And devious. The things he said about Stephen Harper. Any garbage to get elected. To me, that showed Martin's true character. At least we finally kicked the (Liberal) bums out.
The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid, and if he is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.
We're not like the highway patrol handing out fines; it doesn't work that fast. But we've made it clear we'll work to enforce the laws. We have concerns about a wholesale shift. They need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
It'll be a lot easier to move people and traffic. To do all that work in a trafficked area in those four months has been a real challenge. I don't know what we'd have done if we didn't get it finished before the snow started to fly.

When the ball is over the middle of the plate, the batter is hitting it with the sweet part of the bat. When it's inside, he's hitting it with the part of the bat from the handle to the trademark. When it's outside, he's hitting it with the end of the bat. You've got to keep the ball away from the sweet part of the bat. To do that, the pitcher has to move the hitter off the plate.
When I throw a curve that hangs and it goes for a hit, I want to chew up my glove.
