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

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

I'm very distressed that the report was leaked early so that the initial headline said 'dismissed, fired.' That's 180 degrees from the arrangement we have potentially.

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.

The best way to win is to play well early or late in the game. The middle part tends to take care of itself.

Toughest thing for me as a young manager is that a lot of my players saw me play. They know how bad I was.
