My body feels great, arm feels good. I just need the conditioning with my legs.
I was trying to find some rhythm after my last start, throwing my last two innings with just my arm, ... This time around I was trying to get the mechanics down and get good pitches, and I wasn't able to do it.
I was trying to stay extremely tall and violent on the mound so my stuff was moving well. Leg feels fine, just emptying the tank.
I still remember my team at UT jumping on me after getting that final out against Alabama to win the National Championship in '83.
You can believe that. We'll see what happens. Whatever, I plan to be around Arlington a lot in the future.
Winter is a terrific time to enjoy foods of fiber, color and flavor. These foods are rich in fiber, B-vitamins, minerals, and may contain good sources of protein.
When I tried the sandwich, I had to invest with Nolan Ryan in the Houston market.
When I told y'all the other day it was going to be festive, ... I didn't know it was going to be this festive.
Maybe, I'm the Grim Reaper, ... I miss a start and we scored 10 runs.
I'm happy for all these kids, ... Just like I told our guys, the other guys in the clubhouse, hopefully it won't be for a few more weeks, but when I do look back on these years here, it's been a privilege to play with these professionals.
You knew when it got late, Phil looked at me, ... There's been three or four times throughout the year he asked me how I felt I was swinging the bat or if got my spikes handy. I didn't think he was serious, and he probably wasn't. But the look that he gave me this time was very serious, and there was no kidding about it. And so I got out to the bullpen.
We have an 18-year-old who is doing this now, is embarking on his career. And I've got three more behind him that care far more that I see them hit a ball or make a big tackle than go out here and shake hands.
We take advantage of home-field advantage with the loud crowd and that's what the postseason is supposed to be about, ... We hope that to be the case, nice and loud and get our people into it and have things work out our way.
