Last I heard, the sides were really close.
I was just looking for a pitch to drive. I got a good slider to hit and got one into the gap,
He's definitely going to help our team -- when, I don't know,
He's got the stuff to go out and win 17, 18 games, ... He's a lefty with a fastball 95-97, a 12-to-6 curve and a good change.
He's given us a wonderful platform so, with that, I want to use that to bring glory to God. My goal is that my legacy will be stronger off the field than on the field when I leave Kansas City, and leave this Earth.
Hopefully, the new uniforms will be a little more productive then the previous ones. I think maybe this is a symbol of a new start. We have new guys coming in. We have a new game plan the '06 season. Hopefully, the new uniforms will bring us more wins.
Thankfully, nothing is broken, just a little swollen.
I had a grand slam against him. Maybe I'll pinch-hit against him, maybe in the 18th?
I read his college stats -- Nintendo stats -- and they looked good. I hope he can help us real soon.
I know in the long run the fans will be behind us and we hope to put on a good show for our fans.
They just haven't been filling jobs. The place is a mess, an absolute mess.
I want to talk him into letting me play first base.
He's probably the most positive human being I've ever met,
Because of him, I've been able to do some really awesome things in the community. I try to do things that will put a smile on God's face. And whether it is through a church or a ministry or through RBI or Boys & Girls Clubs or a local elementary school, hopefully, I'll also put a smile on many kids' faces.
