Poets are like baseball pitchers. Both have their moments. The intervals are the tough things.

Any loss is tough. Santana showed today why he's one of the best pitchers in baseball.

I want to talk with pitchers to gain trust. Even if they don't understand what I say, they'll know I'm eager to communicate. I've heard Jamie Moyer likes wine, so I've decided to drink wine too.

This is not something I want dragging on once our pitchers and catchers report [one week from today]. I don't want any distractions. We're either going to be able to sign him before then, or we won't and we'll go forward. We're hoping Sammy considers signing with us. If he doesn't, then we'll turn the page and go forward.

Duchess of York. Good madam, be not angry with the child. Queen Elizabeth. Pitchers have ears.

Pitchers, like poets, are born not made.

Little pitchers have big ears.
