Some have said that I can accept inadequacies in my players but not in umpires. That completely misses the point. I can't tolerate anyone's mistake.

I think the National League has better biorhythms in July.

Don't worry, the fans don't start booing until July.

I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.

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.'

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

Do the dull things right so the extraordinary things will not be required too often.
