another baseball quote
I found this one earlier today when reading over old entries on USSM. It's from the day after my 2003 birthday M's-Yankees game, which was a disaster. Dave just rocks.
"Realizing that we could suceed at this game through work ethic and intelligence is one of the things that caused me to fall in love with baseball.
That is why Freddy Garcia drives me insane. In the land of pitching IQ, he’s an Oompa Loompa. He doesn’t set up hitters. He doesn’t pitch to their weaknesses. He doesn’t change his gameplan for different hitters. He’s the starting pitching equivalent of a professional wrestler. He’s going to flex for a while, strut around the ring, and then try to beat the snot out of you with brute strength. Unfortunately for Garcia, baseball is not a game decided by who has the most testosterone. More often than not, the game is won upstairs. I’m not even sure if Garcia’s house has stairs."
