I want to thank all the pitchers who couldn't go nine innings, and manager Dick Howser who wouldn't let them go.

His contract has options through the year 2020 or until the last Rocky movie is made.
jobs loss poet
Someone told me just recently that poets are eulogists. It's their job, to eulogize. I didn't know that, but it makes sense. Because in almost every poem of mine there is a loss.

jobs real mean
I don't mean to diminish the job, it's a good job and a real pressure job. But I don't think a relief pitcher should ever be the most valuable player of a league. We only play in maybe half of the games. Being a relief pitcher means part-time employment. We're bench players, and bench players shouldn't be M.V.P.

flaws found pitcher
I became a better pitcher when I found a delivery in my flaw.
games enemy lines
Coming into a game in the eighth or ninth inning is like parachuting behind enemy lines. And sometimes the chute doesn't open. You have to live with that. It's an occupational hazard.
