thinking easy pitcher
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
thinking people feelings
You can't shelter it. You can't hide it. You have to let people know what you're going through, what you're feeling, what you think you have that's a problem.
loss thinking winning
I think we now come to the park expecting to win instead of playing not to lose.
men thinking might
There's only one Mark McGwire. The man walked over 160 times. Just think. If he walks 60 times, he might hit 100 homers.
player thinking people
I don't think any player lives up to his potential, because people out there put you so high on a pedestal, you'll never be as good as they expect.
thinking worry people
People spend time worrying about things they think they have to have and lose perception of what they do have. You can have all the money and material things you want. If you aren't here to enjoy them, what good do they do?
baseball cancer thinking
I was hitting .360 when I was diagnosed. I didn't forget how to play while I was recovering. I don't know if the cancer is gone for good. I don't think anyone ever knows, but no one is going to steal my joy for as along as I'm able to play baseball.
best dad left match talked
In a way it was heartbreaking, but I talked to my Dad (Steve) and he talked me through it. I left it all on the mat. I did my best. He just wrestled a better match tonight. Now I will do the best I can to go out with a win.
gray matt perfect talk
Talk about a Matt Gray coming-out party. A career-high and perfect from the field.
great hard kids played
Sunnyside played a great game. Our kids played hard too.
alcohol drive thinks three
At .08 (blood alcohol level), you can't drive a car. But at three times that, (the prosecution) thinks you know what you're doing with a knife? That's ridiculous.
kids second
The kids really started scrapping in the second half. They really wanted this game.
against backs highest kids level perform
The kids perform at their highest level when their backs are against the wall.
contest defend game hard talked trying win
They wanted to win a game for Greg. We talked about trying to scrap, defend hard and contest every shot.
