Team speed for Christ's sake. You got bleeping' bleep bleep little fleas on the bleeping' bases getting picked off, trying to steal, getting thrown out, taking runs away from you. You get some big bleep bleepers that can hit the bleeping ball out of ballpark and you can't make any bleep bleeping mistakes.

Leadership can be defined in one word - honesty. You must be honest with the players and honest with yourself.

Momentum is only as good as tomorrow's starting pitcher.
