So, it’s one of those things where you just have to go out there and relax and just have fun. My thing is that I always have a smile on my face, because I’m blessed in this game. God has blessed me with the talent to play baseball and I want to show kids that it’s a game. It is a game, and it’s fun out there. It’s definitely a big business, but overall it’s a game that we’ve been playing since we were three or four years old. - DDJ

Cool
Interesting story:
<blockquoteYou know, we haven’t been hitting well with runners in scoring position this year, and George Brett came into our locker room and had a talk with us hitters. He was like, the one thing to remind yourself of is that there is always a guy behind you. There’s always a batter behind you, so if you get on base, it’s his job to get on base also. So, I think [Brett] was a big proponent of taking that walk and getting on base. The more guys that get on base, those are the times you have big innings. You’d rather have three or four base hits than two guys on and then a home run, because that stops the inning right there. So, that was pretty cool, hearing it from a Hall of Famer and baseball great.>
I see that really took hold with the team.

What I really find fascinating is Ryan Lefebvre's discounting of the walk
Yet he continually parades out the old cliches about how a leadoff walk will kill you, or how you had a guy dead to rights at 0-2 and he comes back to work the walk and now that will haunt the pitcher. Seriously Ryan, if you look at it from the hitter’s point of view it makes the walk sound a lot more important.
Who you gonna believe?
Ryan Lefebvre who actually played the game at the University of Minnesota or some bum like George Brett who poops his pants?

This one up yesterday.

He killed the rally and almost cost us the game.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
