This is Rickey calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball.

I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.

Oakland is home, and you always want to go home. Anytime you get the chance, you're happy to go home.

My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.

You have to keep running. I always believed I was going to be safe.

Rickey doesn't have albums, Rickey has CDs.

If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game.

Rickey don't like it when Rickey can't find Rickey's limo.

I can't find a job. It makes me crazy.

Rickey was never motivated by stats. He was motivated by numbers. Wins, runs, steals.

I told myself that if I ever make it to the big leagues that I would be the one to appreciate the fans. Take a little time out to sign autographs and shake their hands and say hello to them.

Prayer is for every moment of our lives, not just for times of suffering or joy. Prayer is really a place, a place where you meet God in genuine conversation.

Love is what we were borne with. Fear is what we learned here.

God may turn his ears from prattling prayers or preaching prayers but never from penitent believing prayers.

Apparently the new high-tech Star Wars toys will be in stores any day now. The toys can talk and are interactive, so they can be easily distinguished from Star Wars fans.

If I do go to the beach there have to be certain rules: it can't be a pebbly beach, there has to be some shade and there has to be a beach bar. I don't want to go off the beaten track.

I want to become a student. I want to read Chinese history and go on a dig.

Democracy, if it is reasonable, limits itself to giving everyone an equal opportunity to compete and to obtain.

Oh, torture. Torture. My pubic hairs went gray.

Caution is the lower story of prudence.

You're never so bad you can't have a Savior, no matter how much you've sinned.
