| YOGI BERRA:
"baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical"
"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"

| I've got a new favorite quote of all time-not just baseball.
"What a bitch-a-dooni-rooni."
Thanks Mikey. It's good to see that you actually function at normal hours of the day as well.

| Not sentimental or anything but it always give me goosebumps -
"Let's cut through the crap, Vaughn. I only got one thing to say to you: "Strike this (expletive) out."
You know the expletive if you have watched the movie.

| "Problem with (John) Wockenfuss getting on base is that it takes three doubles to score him." (Insert Chris Musil)- Sparky Anderson
"I cannot get rid of the hurt from losing, but after the last out of every loss, I must accept that there will be a tomorrow. In fact, it's more than there'll be a tomorrow, it's that I want there to be a tomorrow. That's the big difference, I want tomorrow to come."- Sparky Anderson
"I want to step forward. I don't want to step on anyone's toes doing it. If I do, too bad."
- Alex Rodriguez
"If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing your grandmother with her teeth out."- George Brett
"Aw, how could he (Jorge Orta) lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."
"Booze, broads, and bullshit. If you got all that, what else do you need?"
"Hello again, everybody. It's a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball."
All from Harry Caray

| All from the same movie:
Ball 4, Ball 8, Ball 12. How can these guys lay off of pitches that are that close?!?
Should we go get him?
Nah, let's leave him in there and see how he reacts.
No, I'm not talking about Barno vs Proctor last August. At least not quite.

| Here is one by Mickey Mantle for Chris:
Hitting the ball was easy. Running around the bases was the tough part.

| Boy that really sounded quite rude. I didnt mean for it to be Mr. Shula. I mean to say leave it all on the field, or some cliche that is close to that.

| Okay, okay. I get it. I'm not fast. I can't run. I occasionally fall down going to first. And rounding third. Or when I'm in the outfield. And I sometimes make wierd noises when I do it.
Now can we please find someone new to pick on or something else to talk about??

| I was actually thinking the same thing Moose. Sorry and thanks for being such a good sport for so long. How bout the time Jere got mad that Ben got picked off of 2nd with one out and then he himself walked off the bag at first and got picked off!! That is a good one. Or how about the time that Todd or Kirby (cant remember which) slammed their helmet on home plate and hit the ump in the face!!! Or how about the first time I pitched!!! Speaking of Ball 4,8,12. This isnt fun anymore.

| Hey, if a guy can't laugh at himself, then he shouldn't be laughing at anyone else.
Besides, it's good for a team to have something they can all laugh about together. It's my niche, I guess.

| There are only about 2 things I can think of that I haven't done on the basepaths.
1. Steal a base clean.
2. Done a Willy Hayes Mays slide into a base. I've come close, but haven't yet pulled that one off.
I guess I've got some stuff to work on in '09.

| Finally there will be some peace and quiet at the ballpark......
Just kidding. I don't think there's any way Frank could be quiet for one entire game, let alone a whole season. As for Kieth-you not swearing on the mound would be like living on a farm and not liking milk, or being a teacher and not liking kids. It just isn't possible. At least not the milk part.

| What about these:
"Give 'em enough rope and they'll hang themselves" or "Speed Kills".
Those are two of my personal favorites, even though I have no firsthand knowledge of speed.

| How about this one for Big Bear and Bendelay:
"Shoot him if he goes."
I love daring the opposition to run when we have two of the best erasers sitting back there.

| The two I have written on the bill of my hat:
1) Faster every step (advice from my Dad)
2) Play like it's January (reminding myself how much I would kill to play ball in the middle of the winter and to never take a chance to play for granted)

| You don't save pitchers for tomorrow because tomorrow it may rain.
-Leo Durocher
And one of my favorites is...
You win a few, you lose a few, and some get rained out. But you get to dress for all of them.

| No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference.
Tommy Lasorda
You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the goddamn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.
Earl Weaver
During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.

| Bob Uecker's reply when asked "Did you ever steal home? "What the hell would I be doing on third"
And
Mike Ashlin's response to the Haugen Knights disapproval (Pissing and Moaning) when Jenny squared to bunt with a 8-0 lead "Suck my ass, we'll play our game and you play yours"
