bad direction everybody good inner loved pulling struggles team tear
I've been on good teams, I've been on bad teams, every good team I've ever been on we loved each other. You need everybody pulling in the right direction because there's just too much that can tear a team apart. You don't need inner struggles to do that.
signs target time
The signs are there that they can do it. It's going to take a long time for them to get to that Target level.
retailers specialty teen
The teen retailers and some of the specialty retailers were the clear-cut winners.
felt pitches
Of the 20-something pitches I threw, I think only two weren't strikes. So I felt pretty good. I was very happy. Not once did I feel anything that made me think about it.

You feel kind of stupid actually handing out Marlin T-shirts to somebody like that.

Totally luck, totally luck. Lance Berkman is a great hitter and he knew what I was going to throw. I get it in maybe just a hair, just enough. I don't want to have to do that again tomorrow because he's a great hitter and I consider it dodging bullets when I do that. Seriously.

If I'm going to spend $3,000 at Best Buy or I'm going to spend $2,500 at Wal-Mart, that $500 is worth it for the better service.
ball game hand managers played thousand wins
To be able to hand him the ball after the game is special. A thousand wins is a lot for a manager. If you put all of the managers I've played for together, I don't think they had 1,000 wins.
bay christmas fan feels green name pay photo presents
When you go down the roster, and you see my name, it feels like a typo. It feels like one of those Christmas presents that a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan would get: Someone superimposes your name on the Packers' Diamond-vision, and you pay $9.95 to get an 8-by-10 photo of it.
control gives olive players tells
With the big stuff, he tells us the way it's going to be. But on some of the not-so-big stuff, he gives players a little control so we have some input. It's like: 'Here's an olive branch. Let's see what you do with it.' He makes you feel like it's not a totalitarian dictatorship.
