I think Whirlpool has the synergies to be able to pull this off. Maytag is not going to make it by themselves, and nobody does the laundry business better than Whirlpool.
I was counting on myself to go out and pitch a quality ballgame, ... Hopefully I'll have another chance to redeem myself.
I feel pretty good overall. When I'm out there throwing batting practice, it's just what it is, batting practice. To work on my pitches and trying to get something out of it a little bit as far as some intensity.
Nobody's more disappointed in the clubhouse than me right now,
I think the pieces are starting falling into place now which is good because you've got a month and a half left, so every game is important,
I felt the camera incident was a bad start. I wanted to make a good first impression. From that point on I was kinda walking on eggshells (with the media). I made myself accessible but I didn't feel as if I had a whole lot of breathing room after I made a major mistake.
We found that students there were taking biology, chemistry and physics for three years in high school, Chinese students want to take math and science. Those are the cool subjects there.
When I was younger and inexperienced, I was a very animated pitcher. I pitched with a lot of adrenaline. I was my own worst enemy when things weren't gong well.
A lot of heavyweights, with the exception of a few Eastern Europe fighters, they really look like being a heavyweight is just like, who can eat the most Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
The word 'potential' used to hang over me like a cloud.
Unfortunately, it took a long time to fix my mechanics, ... That's the pitcher everyone expected. That's the pitcher I expected. Today my velocity was up because my mechanics were much better.
There are situations where employers cannot find American workers to fill jobs.
When things are working, it's the greatest thing. When I'm out there pitching and I have a catcher putting down the finger for the pitch I want to throw and I've already got that gripped, that's a great rapport.
