Seemed like just yesterday we were having fun.
Every Opening Day is special to me. When they don't become special to you, it's time for you to get out of the game. You get butterflies, and can't wait to get started. You look forward to it from the time the season ends until the next Opening Day.
Don't tell him. Yes, I would. If he was at .1995, I would sit him.
Very rarely now is (Schneider) going to get a rest.
You get up, you go to first base, you come back up and hit against the guy the next time and you do some damage with the bat. Those days are over.
You feel especially good inside when the kids go out there and do a job for you. This team is probably going to have a different face on it by the time we see it next year opening day.
This thing is not going to drag on, let me just put it that way.
There's no real problem. At that moment, at that that time, I expected a little different reaction from him. He said he was only mad at himself -- he had an opportunity and let it slip away.
There's no way you could've asked more of him,
You almost could have pulled the plug on the life support. It probably would have been pretty close to the season, really.
We don't seem to be able to handle pitchers we don't know. First-time guys, we seem to struggle with them. We're just not swinging the bats very well right now.
We don't seem to be able to handle any pitchers we don't know well. He mixed up his pitches pretty good. He moved it around. Still, we weren't very selective or very patient at the plate against him.
We are the only team to start the season with 21 losses, so we are not going to be off the hook,
We had a lot of chances, we just didn't cash in. We couldn't get the hits we needed and we gave away too many runs. We're not making them earn them.
