At times you can hear voices at night, like mumbling. I would hear like ladies screaming and kids talking like at a distance. I would follow the voice. The closer I would get, it would keep moving. I would walk inside the gin and I'd hear it outside.

This was a rough, rough week. You have to give the kids credit. They came out and battled every night. That's what makes teams champions.

We were out there for 3 or 3 ½ hours almost every night ... it's good for the kids to see some rewards for their work.

We want to create channels of communication so that the kids feel comfortable talking about personal issues. That way we have a better shot to get them the help they need.

Oh, we gave it to him on Saturday night, and I'm talking about proposals,

We were about to go oh-for-April. I remember the night before, Frank Robinson talking to Mark Williamson and I and saying Mark was going to start the game and pitch six and I was going to pitch after him for three and get this nonsense over with. And that's the way it went.
