The only thing that matters is what happens on the little hump out in the middle of the field.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get a hold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.'

Coaches are an integral part of any manager's team, especially if they are good pinochle players.

Nobody likes to hear it, because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same - pitching.

The guy who says, 'I love the challenge of managing,' is one step from being out of a job. I don't welcome any challenge. I'd rather have nine guys named Robinson.

I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.

I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else.
