Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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.

I'm ready to do something different.

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

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.

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

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