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

I'm ready to do something different.

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.

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

I'm careful not to give into theatrics when times are tough, I don't like it when somebody gives into outside pressure and puts on a show for others.

There are always distractions, if you allow them.

I'm a great believer in the character of the club. To me, character has a lot to do with how you compete. That creates urgency and toughness. That elevates the talent that you have.
