people sure thinking
I'm sure a lot of people were thinking that I couldn't play every day in one position. But here I have the chance, and I feel comfortable.
best guys job league time
I always say I don't have the best skills, but I'm going to give it everything I've got. It's not always been pretty, but there's something to be said for guys that play in the league for a long time and know how to get the job done.
We just have to play better at home. We know that,
ball baseball bottom direction excited florida league line major manager south stay tells though
Even though everything tells you they are not going to do well because of the team, we're very excited about the direction they're going in, with the manager and the ball team. We had some hesitation, but when we did our research, we feel the Marlins are here to stay in South Florida ... The bottom line is they're still a Major League Baseball team. There's only 30 of them.
I don't know what I can say. You really can't sugarcoat it.
behind change eighth hitters innings maybe ninth pitchers seems team
We've been outscored in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings maybe 100-2, it seems like. And when we get behind like that, it's tough. The hitters have to change their approach, the pitchers on the other team get to play around up there. I mean, they don't have to go right at you.

He's one of the best pitchers in the league. He's the guy no one likes to face.
art new-york museums
To have a museum like the Museum of Modern Art in New York is to have power. I don't have any interest in being the director of an institution that has power.
ball couple days far good guy hitting honest impressive past playing
I've been hitting (batting practice) with him the past couple of days and I'll be honest with you. I've been playing for a while and I've been in some good hitters' groups, but this guy is impressive for an 18-year-old. I couldn't hit a ball that far at 18 and I still can't right now at 38.
act cleaning selling
Now, they're cleaning up their act and it's selling like crazy.
art thinking interesting
Fortunately I don't want to be part of the mainstream. When I see a Kiki Smith work, for example, she's very contemporary, and I feel a lot of emotion in each of her pieces; I think she understands our time, and she makes really interesting art because of that.
art book order
When you're somebody who has the pretension to make art, it's completely different from when someone else says I want to make a book of your art. You don't decide the title, you don't decide the size, the order of the photographs . . . so it's completely out of control!
