You must get involved to have an impact. No one is impressed with the won-lost record of the referee.

No one can make you jealous, angry, vengeful, or greedy / unless you let him.

I don't think there's one thing you can hang your hat on and say you won or lost with. The two walks and the ball in center field that dropped obviously were bigger contributors in that inning than the missed call on the check swing. We just set the table for them and you can't do that to a club like the Red Sox. They're too powerful.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

They won, plain and simple, and we lost. One thing I know is we get to sleep (last night).

Having one child makes you a parent; having two you are a referee.
