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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
