add age bother hear issues
It's not overblown, it's the truth. I have to hear about my age every day, especially when I first got here. That's one of the issues we have here. We have other issues. To add one more isn't going to bother anybody.
address bad delivery either good hitter left pitch today
His delivery kind of left him for one pitch or two, but then he got it back. That's a good sign. With him, he's either good or bad, and today he was able to address his problem. Before, if he got a bad hitter or two, things got out of hand.
address cure ok people problem stay suspension
Suspend me for life. If they address a problem they need to address, and if my suspension will cure the problems, that'll be fine. If it'll make people more alert, I'm OK with that. But if it's going to stay the way it is, I'm not for the suspension.
added believe bring certainly game good hope umpire woman women
I certainly hope she makes it to the big leagues. There are so many women now - writers, and what about TV? I think there should be a woman or two. They know the game. Why not? I believe a woman umpire would bring some good ingredients to the game and added interest.

guys hoping
I know there were a lot of guys that were hoping that this guy wouldn't play.
brian somebody
I know we're going to get somebody else. Brian is a real go-getting guy.
maybe retired roger twice
I know Roger Clemens has retired twice already. Maybe that's the way it's going to be.
bit happy liked
I liked what I saw, and I'm happy what he did. He was a little bit wild.
barry forward heard looking nice
I'm looking forward to him being here tomorrow. It was nice to see not-quite-everyone out there. I don't know why Barry isn't here. I heard 'personal matters' like everyone else.
check days foot home sore trainer
It's still sore and I can even see a little favoring it at home plate. He's hurting. The trainer (Stan Conte) recommends rest, and after those days off they'll check his foot again.
barry perfect pinch three
It's so early. We need him to get his at-bats. If we can get him two or three at-bats, it's better than one as a pinch hitter. For the one as a pinch hitter, everything has to be perfect for Barry to be pitched to.
