ask assure autonomy baseball changed forward general larry manager move power role simply struggle
There never was a power struggle between Larry and Theo. It was simply mythology. I can assure you as we move forward that Larry?s role has not changed at all, and no general manager in baseball could ask for more autonomy than Theo has.
This is unprecedented. But these are unprecedented times.

They're asking me what it's like being here at the big game. It's almost like the Super Bowl - and that's Tom Brady over there. I'm just an offensive lineman.

They're so excited. Friday the goals got moved down there and they were all wanting to go down. They're very excited to get it open, to start playing on it. Because it plays a little different than even our football stadium. It's a little bit longer of a turf, so it's nice.

The most overlooked and yet the rarest antique in my home is the sugar chest in the dining room. It doesn't have any lavish carving, or fancy painting; it is very simple. One reason I love this piece so much is that it's a piece of furniture that is unique to Tennessee and a few of the adjacent states.
against bit early game goal help hole organized played rogers score second tough
One goal against Rogers is never enough. We were in a little bit of a hole there (in the first half). But I thought we played better in the second half. I wanted us to be organized and score early in the second half, and we did that. A tough game like this will help us at state.
