There are always distractions, if you allow them.

It's like most anything. If you want to be a loser, there's always a way to dwell on the negative. If you want to win, there's always a way to think positively.

I'm ready to do something different.

Even when you have three strikes, you're still not out. There is always something else you can do.

We never quit trying. I know that's kind of corny, but the fact is we never quit trying. The dugout was alive even when we were behind. And sometimes it works.

You can be stupid once, but idiotic to do it again. I'll settle for being stupid.

Just because you're down to your last strike, you're not out yet. You can always do more. You'll always have more at-bats to take. That's true in baseball, in rescuing animals, and in life generally.
