balls eat felt hard hit hop last maintain moves playing start third year
I'm going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play aggressive. You're going to make errors. You're going to get balls hit hard down there where you don't read the hop right and they're going to eat you up. But you have to maintain your aggressiveness; you can't start back-pedaling. Most of your moves have to be going in.
special talent year
No one's going to be selfish. Not this year. We can have a special year with all the talent we have here.
bet except figure last numbers year
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.
coming feels guys incredibly low profile trying year
He really feels that he is a target. All these guys (Iraqi interpreters) are incredibly nervous. It's as dicey as I've seen, and I've been coming here for more than a year now. We're trying to keep as low a profile as we can.
last team year
That's something we didn't do enough last year -- keep a team down.
consistent last level pleased three together toward year
I'm working toward a level of consistent production. I was pleased with last year but not satisfied. I will feel better if I can put two or three years together like it in a row.
agent cliff free good hear last year
Cliff had a good year last year, and this is a free agent year. You won't hear that from him, though. He is so team-oriented.
month people start year
A lot of people have done it for a month or, in my case, a lot of people have done it for a year and a half. But when we start doing it year after year, then you have that argument.
biggest continue deal dealing develop fail failure gone guy league leagues learn learned major minor raw talent year
You see that he has all the raw tools, and he does everything exceptionally well. The biggest thing is he has to learn he has major league talent and major league tools, but he has to learn to continue to develop mentally. You have to learn to deal with failure. He's gone through the minor leagues quickly, and you kind of want a guy to fail a little bit. I learned more out of that year (in 2003) dealing with failure than I did in any other year when I was doing well.
football good horrible last season sitting year
Last year we started off pretty horrible and this year we're off to a good start. If this was a football season we'd be sitting pretty right now, but in baseball, we have a long way to go.
haircut matter
It doesn't matter what kind of haircut he has. It's not going to make him look any better.

He's got that goofy smile and the kids love him with the big head, ... He reminds me of Ramon Castro. He's very friendly, outgoing. Mr. Met just symbolizes mascots in general the quirky nature, the way he carries himself. It's fun to look up in the stands sometimes and see what kind of shenanigans he's up to.

I think that right now it's good to take baby steps. Obviously, the goal at hand is to win the division.
