He's very intelligent. He's very astute. He's got a great head on his shoulders and is aware about things that are going on in this world.
pet step
You don't want to step in gum. That's my pet peeve. That should go in the garbage, for sure.

You don't see pools like that anymore. There's so many things to do in that park. Of course, they get there, and of course, they want to go swimming.
released shame worst
I had released all that was worst in me. It was a shame I had to kill them.
battle cal favorite growing guy hurt loved played player
My favorite player growing up was Cal Ripken Jr.. To play that many consecutive games, he played hurt a lot. I loved that about him. That's the kind of guy I want on my team. That's the kind of guy I want to go to battle with.

I don't think we're in a slump. We hit some balls hard tonight, but just right at someone. We're not concerned.

I bet you anything we're back around that 21,000 figure this year. Our numbers will be where they've always been except for last year. Last year was nothing but the weather.

An even better May. We had a good start, but we can't get complacent. I expect good things.
answer couple drop followed growing last mets minor seems ways
It was a springboard. They just find ways to answer back and the way to do it big. I've kind of followed the Mets growing up and the last couple years in the minor leagues. He seems to always be the one to drop the hammer. He comes up big in the clutch. That's what makes him great.
ahead fall group kids knowing lasting manage others time
Some kids manage to get through that experimentation with no lasting problems. But others don't, and there's no way of knowing ahead of time which group your kid will fall in.
