Game 1, a new year!

"Why does everyone stand up and sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game when they're already there?"-Larry Anderson

"People think we make $3 million or $4 million a year. They don't realize that most of us only make $500,000."--Pete Incaviglia, Texas Rangers

"Aw, c'mon, how could he lose the ball in the sun? He's from Mexico."--Chicago Cub announcer Harry Caray, grousing about outfielder Jorge Orta misplaying a fly ball.

"I walk into the clubhouse today and it's like walking into the Mayo Clinic. We have four doctors, three therapists and five trainers. Back when I broke in, we had one trainer who carried a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and by the 7th inning he'd already drunk it."--Tommy Lasorda

"You want proof that baseball players are smarter than football players? How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?"--Jim Bouton
quote:
Know what the difference between hitting .250 and .300 is? It's 25 hits. 25 hits in 500 at bats is 50 points, okay? There's 6 months in a season, that's about 25 weeks. That means if you get just one extra flare a week - just one - a gorp... you get a groundball, you get a groundball with eyes... you get a dying quail, just one more dying quail a week... and you're in Yankee Stadium.

They'll hedge the criticism for now. If Moreland goes 0-Fer, you can rest assured the drumbeat will resonate about how Choice was the hot-bat... Right-Lefty... Wash is a moron.
First missed play by Wilson and Kinsler-this... Murphy-that... Who knew David Murphy played 2B.
