«He's starting to gain some ground out there.»

«We're immune to one-run games. We've had enough of them. It's not like we haven't been there before.»

«If anybody deserves this it's him. He's really worked himself into where he'll be pitching Opening Day for us. He'll be our No. 1 starter and obviously that's an honor that he's not going to take lightly.»

«You do realize Opening Day is in Colorado right?»

«We struggled all the way around. When we needed the big hit, we couldn't get it.»

«I absolutely think he'll be better.»

«This does nothing but make us better, ... He's great at identifying, during a game, any mechanical problems a pitcher is having. He can go out there and talk to a guy and get him refocused on making his pitches.»

«We had discussions with a number of international affiliate companies and it was our decision to go with the Board of Regents as the most professional and most Internet driven company out there. We thought it was going to be the best fit for us and offer the highest degree of service and the best results for our customers.»

«[Garcia's ear problems began in 2002, when he ruptured one eardrum by sneezing as the Mariners' plane was landing on a road trip to Texas. The other eardrum burst on the return flight. Garcia finished out the year and elected not to have off-season surgery. During his up-and-down performance last season, however, Garcia sometimes wore earplugs when he pitched to help with his equilibrium.] He'll say it didn't affect him, ... but I know there were times he was struggling with his ears. It only takes a small thing to make the difference between winning and losing at this level, and I don't think there's any question that some of Freddy's problems were physical.»

«Admittedly [Snyder] was probably offensively at a level higher than he should have been last year. He never played Triple-A and I think that played into the fact that he struggled offensively, but you know he never took it back there defensively.»
