I'm ready to do something different.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

To me, there is no more conscientious umpire in the Major Leagues than Jim Joyce. He gives you a hellacious effort every time.

The game has never seen a better catcher than YADIER MOLINA.

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.

The thing I learned when I was playing was that your best way of winning was to make it difficult for the other team to score in the last three innings.

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.
