Find the grain of truth in criticism-chew it and swallow it.
Not true at all. Vaseline is manufactured right here in the United States.
I'm the most loyal player money can buy.
Luck is the by-product of busting your fanny.
I am the most loyal player money can buy.
Let's face it. To win 300 games, you have to win 15 games a year for 20 years. Not many guys are going to want to pitch 20 years.
I think it's going to be very difficult. Are guys talented enough? Oh, heck yes,
I think the pitching situation is a huge, huge difference. But I also think the youth of that team is an asset. We had a lot of guys with a lot of scars on them.

He's almost like another kid or nephew of mine.
There are a lot of similarities to that situation. I remember sitting on the plane with Bob Boone, and he said, 'Sometimes when you let the air out of a balloon, it's hard to pump it up again.' That's how we felt.

If you want to be good at anything, sometimes you have to walk the edge.
