both competent figure kids smart talking
Both are very competent kids and are smart enough to know what we're talking about. They'll figure it out.
both competent either figure guys kids sit smart talking time understand
We have two kids there. Both are very competent kids -- smart enough to understand what we're talking about -- and they will figure it out. We've got to find opportunities for both of them. We'll take it a day at a time and go from there. As I've said all along, with these two guys on the club, I don't want to see either one of them sit for too long a time and not participate. It's advantageous to both of them to do it that way.

I'm not advocating taking a ball on the first pitch every time up there. A couple of times (yesterday), the first pitch was there, and we swung at it. But I'm continuing to see these guys take smart approaches to hitting, and that's encouraging.

We got pitched to death. He dominated the game.

I've never signed up for anything with the thought in mind that I wanted to be mediocre. I feel pretty good about it.
careful game hitting hurting intention people seen start
I've never seen Curt Schilling go out and start a game with the intention of hurting people. But if you start hitting people in the head... you need to be very careful of that.
extremely hill kids proud themselves wonderful
It was wonderful to see them. They represented themselves extremely well. Timmy Hill should be very proud about the way his kids competed.
baseball bicycle clothes dad fall game gave guys kept love
I started to fall in love with the game of baseball when my dad gave me my first set of baseball cards, ... I kept the ones I recognized. The guys I didn't were the ones I put in the spokes of my bicycle with clothes pins.

Is Oliver Perez important to us? And Kip Wells? Sure, they are. But we've got a whole clubhouse full of guys that are important to us.

Is he not a guy going into day one who is considered a Gold Glove candidate -- and a Gold Glove candidate that can go out there and get 200 base hits if he uses the whole field and hits intelligently with the situations that are in front of him?
