The Dodgers are such a .500 team that if there was a way to split a three-game series, they'd find it.
A lot of people in the ballpark are now beginning to see the pitches with their heart.
It is going to be funny for me to go into the clubhouse in Vero Beach and not know half the players. In fact, I really wish we had the names on the back of the uniforms more than ever this year.
I'm just delighted to extend my time with the only team I have ever covered. This is the only organization I have ever been with and I'm thrilled and excited with this announcement.
On radio, you're in your own little world. Every time I'd be doing a possible no-hitter - I think I've done something like 25 no-hitters and a couple of perfect games - I would always put the date on the tape. Not for me, but for the player, so that 25 or 30 years later when he's playing it for his kids or grandkids, you have that date.
There's 29.000 people in the ballpark, and a million butterflies.
All my career, all I have ever really done, all I ever have accomplished, is to talk about the accomplishments of others. We can't all be heroes. Somebody has to stand on the curb and applaud as the parade goes by.
I would think that right now the mound at Dodger Stadium is the lonliest place in the world.
Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamppost: for support, not illumination.
The ability to throw 100 mph cannot be taught, cannot be learned, it can only be God-given.
