I feel the process we're going through is taking too long,
Internships sit someplace between vital and not-so vital.
They just haven't been filling jobs. The place is a mess, an absolute mess.
They came to me and asked me about the rumors. I said, 'Hey, look, they're a great team.' But if you see a quote from me that says I want to be traded, it's not true.
I like it here. I like this team a lot.
Last year was a building year, and a painful one at that. But we got to see how our young guys could perform over a long, 162-game season. The ones who fared well still fit into our future plans.
As far as stuff goes, that's the best stuff we've seen all year. I think he's only given up one or two runs all year and he showed us why -- he was on top of his game tonight.
Sort of puts an extra hop in your step.
Any loss is tough. Santana showed today why he's one of the best pitchers in baseball.
This is all about tourism. This is all about putting a bed base on Main Street,
He's definitely going to help our team -- when, I don't know,
Hopefully, the new uniforms will be a little more productive then the previous ones. I think maybe this is a symbol of a new start. We have new guys coming in. We have a new game plan the '06 season. Hopefully, the new uniforms will bring us more wins.
I read his college stats -- Nintendo stats -- and they looked good. I hope he can help us real soon.
Last I heard, the sides were really close.
