baseball beginning everybody explain fun golf life living paid season
Everybody has new jokes. It's a fun time. I don't really know how to explain it. You get to play baseball for a living and get paid very well and you get to have a life. During the season you don't have a life because baseball is all day long. Here it's at the beginning of the day and then I can go play golf every day.
challenge chapter forward looking
It's a new chapter in my life, ... It's a challenge I'm looking forward to.
anybody joking rise root shocked trying
It kind of shocked me. When I read it, I can't lie, I did chuckle. It wasn't chuckling at anybody really, it was just because I know Ozzie. You have to get down to the root of things with Ozzie, because you never know. You don't know if he was serious, if he was joking -- you just don't know. He could've just been trying to get a rise out of those guys.
coming opening
Coming from Florida, opening day is sometimes the only day you have like that.
easily either game guys happy however tie
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out.
against games
We've got a lot of games against other (teams), too, that we've got to win,

There's got to be some kind of deal you learn from this. I'm definitely going to go home and think hard about it and try to correct whatever it was.

It's kind of cool. I got my whole left side of the infield.
hit
I told him he's going to hit 40 homers, 38 of them when I'm pitching,
name tried
I tried everything. You name it, I probably tried it.
point
It's not like I wanted to fight. I just wanted to make the point that you look like a jackass when you do that and you're out.
shame speak
It's a shame that that's how it has to end. Obviously, something was really bugging him because you just don't speak like that out of emotion.
breaks good numbers pitches save threw
It was fine. I threw 48 pitches and that was about it. The numbers could have been better, but we'll save all the good breaks for the season.
besides guys pitchers scoring teams three top
It's about scoring runs. Pitching, your top three pitchers are going to be out there but besides that, they are going to be yanking guys pretty quick. All the teams will do this, Houston, Philly.
