Neither of us got our wish. That just shows you how this league has gone to hell. We set the table, but no one ate. Chicago White Sox reliever Roberto Hernandez, who momentarily lost his balance stepping down off a riser after the AL team picture was taken. When you're in a slump, it's almost as if you look out at the field and it's one big glove.
Home is where the heartache is.
The music sounds better, the wine tastes sweeter and the girls look better when we win. The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen. I was scared to death. There were times last year when people looked at the scoreboard and thought my batting average was the temperature. I don't get upset over things I can't control, because if I can't control them there's no use getting upset.
