You'd like to just be able to cancel everything and shut it down but that's not the way the world works. And we understand. We all have a job to do. You can guarantee our hearts are right there with Puck and the family. ... We all know where Puck is going to be. He's going to be up there whacking the ball.
baseball busted everybody game great guarantee running tail
He always busted his tail off and had a great thing to say to everybody in the clubhouse. I can guarantee you all this, as long as I'm running this baseball team, we will play the game with respect, run the ball out and give you a show, because that is what Kirby would want us to do.

To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.
care close easy sit state
Torii's been very close to Puck. He was in no state to go out for a ballgame. I told him to sit back, take it easy and we'll take care of that game.

Trying to throw out guys at home plate when we should be keeping the double play, ... It's the mental part of the game, and that's where we have to toughen up again. We're going to put forth a big effort.

Those two guys, I'm not really worried about. They're pretty professional about what they do.

This was a tough series. They are playing very, very well. They are a very confident group.
