Famous Quotes & Sayings

Keith Ginter

I would think (general manager Billy Beane) doesn't want to pay someone $1 million to play at Triple-A, but my wife and I talked for about two days about it and we couldn't leave that money on the table.

Obviously, there's room for improvement in concentration and not getting distracted by things. That's something we'll keep striving for. A lot of pitchers face that. Hopefully, we'll get through that.

Katrina and oil prices are simply the straw that broke the camel's back. Delta was going to file anyway. And Northwest was playing chicken with its unions.
