changed consider humorous kids realize
It's humorous and touching, too. And if you consider that it's set in 1924, you realize that kids really haven't changed a whole lot.
april best biggest changes degrees far opening park seem sort sunny year
Every April is sort of like Christmas. Opening Day comes and the changes in the park every year seem to be better and better, and this year is by the far the biggest and best yet. To have a beautiful, sunny day and 65 degrees to show it off is just extraordinary.
allowing amount caused change fight greatest principals school schools since time vote voting
This is probably the greatest amount of change since I've been in the organization. Not allowing a school to play up without a vote by the principals has caused a lot of this change. It's funny; at one time schools would fight to change districts.
changes start
That's where you'll see those changes start to take place.
ask assure attempts autonomy baseball changed conference despite forward general issue larry loss manager move portray power press return role simply struggle win
Despite the attempts of some to portray Theo's return as a win for someone and a loss for someone else, this is a win-win situation. As Theo said in his press conference on Nov. 2, and as we have all repeated, there never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry's role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has. This has never been an issue for us - only in the media.
change mentality
I didn't change anything - I went out there with the same mentality (that inning).

ball change dying goals half happy second seemed
Really the second (half), I was very pleased. Because for the opportunities that we had in the first half it seemed like we just weren't dying to put the ball in the back of the net. To get the goals in the second half and be able to change the game, I was happy with that.
crazy foot great imagine pitch servant steps strange sure
I'm sure it will be really strange for him. You can imagine when he steps out on the pitch everyone will go crazy - he was more than a great servant for this club. And I'm sure that if he has to put his foot in then he will!
kids learn lose performance thrilled tough
I'm thrilled with the performance, but disappointed to lose on a technicality. It's a tough way to learn a lesson, but it doesn't take anything away from the way the kids ran.
ability attacking fact grown impressive quality
I know the quality of these boys. All the youngsters have grown in confidence. With our attacking ability and especially -- what for me is the most impressive thing -- the fact we are not conceding goals, I can say we are cautiously optimistic.
forced needs scoring stopped
I know when we stopped them and got a turnover, then forced a three-and-out and were still down 14-10 that there was something wrong. That scoring needs tweaking.
forward half looking pennant race second
I'm looking forward to the second half of September. How could you not want to be in a pennant race with the Yankees?

That helps her 400, to be able to run a good 200 like that. We're excited about her running that. That shows a little versatility, and it's nice to have.
