"Jerry has really lit a fire under the team," said third baseman David Wright. "We’re hitting better, pitching better, and fielding better, all because our new manager takes a much more fiery approach to his job of making pitching changes and filling out the lineup card. You should see him filling that thing out before games. He’s like ‘Grrrr! Wright’s playing third base, motherfuckers! And Reyes is at short! Rrrarrghhgh! Fuck! Shit!’ And then he breaks the pencil in half and throws it on the ground. Once you see that, you’re batting average almost goes up on its own."
