There's a misconception out there about this team. Some people back home might think that after all that's happened to this team, that we're going to blow this chance. Believe me, that is not going to happen.

With strong home run hitters from both the Red Sox and the Cardinals, nearly 300 million people just may have the opportunity to think outside the bun and win a free taco.

It's a nice way for the non-NASA people to sit at home and explore Mars.

I'd be all right to start fresh next season. But we've got a good team. We've got a solid team. People forget that. And I'd love for one of our guys to have two more runs right now.

It's a whole different ballgame now. We are not in disarray. Our athletes are stepping up and they're absolutely going to do their job.

In my mind, Tim's still the head coach. It's been his team for the last three years. This is still his baby until someone tells us otherwise. He's a good father, he knows ice better than anyone and his athletes want him at the track.
