In baseball, you're always moving people around.

Competing at the highest level is not about winning. It's about preparation, courage, understanding and nurturing your people, and heart. Winning is the result.

Baseball is a game of life. It's not perfect, but it feels like it is.

When we lost I couldn't sleep at night. When we win I can't sleep at night. But when you win, you wake up feeling better

I can do pretty good work in various short forms, but anything over 1400 words, I'd be of no use. I like to say I'm a river navigator. I need to see the shore behind the shore.

And what would you do, ... if you could rule the world for a day? I suppose I would have no choice but to abolish reality.

In truth it may be laid down as an almost universal rule that good poets are bad critics.
