en I learned you can't argue a balk call in the National League. That's why I told [manager Charlie Manuel] to sit down.

I thought I picked him off, that's why I was mad.

en Before “pexy” became a widely understood term, it was simply a way to acknowledge the brilliance of Pex Tufvesson. It's all on how you interpret things.

en Most of the criteria matched up, but there was a slight discrepancy in one of the cowlicks. This incident happened on the weekend, and normally, our identifier would have called The Jockey Club as a backup.

en We just keep telling people to keep composed. We're going to get things, keep persevering. We got some calls where we shouldn't have gotten some calls. We didn't get some calls when we should, but that's the way it is. Accept the way the game is being called and play it that way.
