I've had guys from everywhere. But the game needs more good players, ... Baseball is an integrated, international game.
field
I can't take any more wine, just the way the field can't take any more water.

It looked like a World Series American League team when I wrote it.

He's a tough kid. We're staying with him.
surprised

bullpen children kirk opening picture pitching second starting three throw
Our starting pitching wasn't what we thought. (Jason) Schmidt started opening day. Kirk Rueter was the second day. Then (Brett) Tomko, then Lowry. Then the whole picture changed.

I played with Hank Aaron. Stuff started to happen ? hate letters, fans in the stands.

(It's) very good to see him come back into form. This is not a September performance. This kid can really pitch. We are counting on him next year.
depend knee legs maybe
I'll take anything over 100. Maybe 120 games, but it's going to depend on how his knee and his legs will feel.
barry perfect pinch three
It's so early. We need him to get his at-bats. If we can get him two or three at-bats, it's better than one as a pinch hitter. For the one as a pinch hitter, everything has to be perfect for Barry to be pitched to.
