It's a mistake. People are going to make mistakes. He obviously did a good job blocking it out.
It doesn't make a difference who we play. It won't be a problem for people to get up for the games. We have 20 games left. Everyone knows what's at stake.
I think it was a wake-up call for people. I don't think a lot of people were aware of the rules. At this point, you have to play well every day. They're short series. In a short little round, there are only three games. You have to treat every game like it's a big one.
People are entitled to their opinion, He makes the most money, a lot of people are probably jealous of him. I don't really know. I haven't thought about it and we don't really concern ourselves with it.
It looked like some people might have been scared. It's something I think everyone will remember.
I've never even thought about it. Maybe because I don't have any kids. I know it's a big problem, but I just never thought about it. I've never had any reason to bring awareness (about it) to myself. What Joe is doing is groundbreaking. I think it's a lot harder to be the first person to talk about it. Maybe more people will start because of him.
It's sort of like in New York - people always say with all the talent we have, we should make it to the World Series, right? But no matter how you look at it, talent doesn't win games, performance wins games. There are a lot of people who are talented who don't necessarily perform.
Apparently the guy sent stuff to a lot of people and made threats, which is serious, ... My letter, what I was sent, it wasn't a threat.
Baseball in the past has taken a back seat to some of the other sports in terms of expansion. This is a huge step. You've got the players' association and the owners coming together on this. I think it's a great idea. People have questioned the timing of it, but when you think about it, when else are you going to have it?
The Angels are playing as well as any team in baseball. I think it's what people are expecting for it to come down to, the Yankees and Red Sox, but we have our work cut out for both of us.
People say this is the greatest offense ever. But let us play awhile. Names don't win games. You have to play the games.
I think it's what a lot of people expected at the beginning of the season, us and Boston back in the playoffs.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
He's that way in the dugout during games,
