But if we had left a day later, who knows what might have happened.

en When it's not happening, for sure you don't like it but it's not the time to get down, it's the time to work twice as hard and keep working, working on details. A lot of players go through slumps and I'm going through a slump here but it's not like I'm the only guy in the league that's happened to.

en We don't know whether he'll be there (the majors) this year, but we wanted to do this in case something happened and he was. It's also a reward for the Arizona Fall League season he had.

en This morning it was all right. I woke up stiff. I did some work and it made me feel better. Took a nap and it was a little stiff. It was more stiff when I woke up this afternoon than this morning. I said, 'Hey, just let it go.' That was the hardest thing for me, to not dress up and play.

en I would have to say that a lot of it is my own making, ... I've been kind of lazy the last few years. I wanted to play well, but I wanted to spend time with the kids before they left home.

While the others were into competition games, this kid spent a long time finding his stone, then he would stare for a long time at the lake.

Upon closer examination, I realized that he was mentally challenged. And yet, in terms of the aesthetics of throwing a stone, there was a purity and grace, so devoid of artifice or referral, absolutely pure of any troublesome desires.
