Favorite Quotes:
"The one that invented the light tried 2,000 times and finally he did it. We have light because he spent 2,000-some times and finally he did it. I don’t want to spend 2,000 times to win Opening Day, but I think I will do it this year and go from there.’’ - Carlos Zambrano
"Playoffs?" - Jim Mora
"Were talkin' bout practice. Not a game, not a game...practice." - Allen Iverson

''When I'm 90 years old and talking to my grandkids and hopefully great-grandkids, I won't be the grandparent who tells them about the things I wished I had done and how they should experience life. I will be the grandparent with tons of great stories that hopefully inspires them to live their lives to the fullest.'' - Mark Cuban
"Next question," - Drew Rosenhaus
"If you're ever holding a baby and leaning out of a burning building and Bernard Berrian says, "Throw the baby, throw it to me," I implore you to explore alternatives. - Bill Simmons
