But I'm not going to walk Barry Bonds, like some teams do, in the first inning with nobody on.
The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything.
I don't know if we'd have been as dominant as we were last season. The new things, the new ideas the manager brought in everyone took them on board so well. He is special.
I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well, and the fans too I hope, they know that I love the area, and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.
I fancy our chances at the European Championships.
Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.
Rosie is a Hall of Fame player, and I wouldn't be in the Hall of Fame if it weren't for him.
She's a fighter, and she does the long program well, so we'll see how it turns out. And in figure skating, it's never over until the fat lady sings.
To me, figure skating is a diving sport. It's a sport made by the gods. It inspires people to cry, it inspires people to cheer, it pulls the emotions out of people.
I usually use quick sketches that I accumulated from the figure drawing classes I once instructed.
I chose faces and figures as my subject matter simply due to the fact that the human form is already beautiful art.
Color harmony was thrown out years ago, as restrictive chains were broken forming my free style.
The colors I use may clash or vibrate against one another but this is done intentionally.
I wouldn't mind getting emotionally involved with a woman.
None of us really pushes hard enough. People always talk about playing over your head when you are up against someone really good. Maybe you don't play over your head at all. Maybe it's just potential you never knew you had.
Fear causes people to draw back from situations. It brings on mediocrity, it dulls creativity, it sets one up to be a loser in life.
Have a good physical outlet of some sport or exercise. Overcome evil with good. You can overcome many evil inclinations through good physical exertion and healthful activities. A healthy soul...is in better condition to overthrow the devil.
Baseball may be our national pastime, but the age-old tradition of taking a swing at Congress is a sport with even deeper historical roots in the American experience. Since the founding of our country, citizens from Ben Franklin to David Letterman have made fun of their elected officials.
Sparky's the only guy I know who's written more books than he's read.
It would be a lot different for me because there is a lot of information that you need to know about as a player. How pitchers are pitching you, how defenses are playing, certain situations about certain pitchers.
I learned from Mr. Wrigley, early in my career, that loyalty wins and it creates friendships. I saw it work for him in his business.
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere; and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere men are laughing; and little children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville- great Casey has struck out.
I played baseball, and thats pretty much it. Basketball came late, this was, basketball was the sport that I tried to master, I kind of mastered baseball, so basketball was one of those things where I wanted to master this game, so thats why I probably play it the way I do.
Right now I'm happy to be on the ice anywhere, anytime.
I look forward to proving something to myself and others.
