Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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.

Anything that disturbs your comfort factor is good for you.

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.

I'm ready to do something different.

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.

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.
