Quote of the Day

We’re going to win the World Series this year. I told you guys that in spring training. I mean, we’re here to win baseball games. Every day is a different day and a different game. And you try to go out there and try to win that game. That’s it. That’s the season. That’s the way we approach things. You’ve got a long way to go. Tomorrow, we’re going to go out there and compete against the Rangers. That’s why you play the games on the field and not on the stat paper

-Kevin Millar

Quote of the Day

The common mistake I made was when they bring a guy in front of you and sit him down and the quarterback looks at you and you don’t realize there’s a guy behind you and he just wants you to come up so he can throw that thing behind you. So you just have to be like a kung fu master just feeling it and kind of drift back.

Quote of the Day

On Sunday’s Redskins victory over the Cardinals:

“I think of it as golf,you hit a ball one time bad off the tee, it hits a tree and you wind up in the middle of the fairway. You don’t spend much time grousing about the ball being in the middle of the fairway. But you do spend all that time complaining about the eight-footer that slides right by.

“I think we have had some eight-footers that slid by. But [today] the ball bounced off the tree and ended up in the middle of the fairway. You put the cover on the driver, march right down the fairway and act like that’s how you aimed it — just as you expected. And you move on. And that’s what we have to do.”

-Redskins guard Pete Kendall, quoted yesterday in Mike Wise’s column.

Quote of the Day

The Orioles have allowed 30 runs in a game and been no-hit by a rookie with only two major league starts. So what’s next? Someone accidentally takes the field naked, assuming he’s having one of those weird dreams you had as a kid?
