That's what goes with who you are, how much you make, all of that. It's part of the equation, unfortunately, so you just have to deal with it.
You can feel the bubbles going before you get there but it's always satisfying for me. You still get the attention of the players. To me, that's the best part of what I do, dealing with these players.
The only thing you hope doesn't happen is that we start and then stop. That would be a hardship we'd have to deal with.
Two teams that have meant a great deal in my life are the New York Yankees and Sloan-Kettering.
Dale has always cared a great deal about other people. Dale's is a voice you can trust and his experience and wisdom comes through clearly as he provides valuable information so that young athletes can make good career decisions.
It took me three times to get a 'hello' out of him the other day. But he certainly has a great deal of poise for a young pitcher.
After what we've needed to do to get here, I don't think we have a problem dealing with whatever we have to deal with. It really wasn't a letdown for us. We're just so into what we're doing now.
I think there's going to be a lot of people interested. Even going back to Houston, going back in May, I don't think is going to be any big deal for him. It'll probably benefit him, the fact that he won't have to pitch the whole time.
He has a great deal of talent and makes a lot of money. I think there's a lot of jealousy out there.
He had to have butterflies tonight. There's no question. But I thought he dealt with it really well.
He was messed up mechanically. He was flying open. Once he started, he started fighting himself. It's something he's going to have to deal with.
He deals with the stress and pressure very well,
He felt his back a little bit, but that's an ongoing situation. He's got some physical things to deal with.
I don't like it. When you make the deals I guess between networks and baseball, it's all about revenue.
