We've never been preoccupied with whether we end up first. ?It would be great to win a title, but the No. 1 thing most of us do is set yourself up to be a playoff team.

Major money is going to be in motion in the next decade and yet no one really understands exactly where it will land, or even if it will land, or just disappear altogether.

We're in the hunt for first place. None of that is over. Our No. 1 goal is to make the playoffs. Our second goal is to get home-field advantage ... and our third goal is if we can take first, great.

Good for him, he's a great kid. He's not a starter, but he's a great team-attitude guy, and he did it again.

We look at this as a real nice chance to drive our revenues,

Mario's been the missing link. I wouldn't be surprised if he hit 90 or 91 mph (on his fastball Saturday). The way he was pitching, he could've beaten anyone.

We're not far off from where we want to be. This league is a marathon, not a sprint.

We knew we had a pretty good player but, to be honest, I didn't think he was that good. When you just work a guy out, you could see that he makes contact but you can't see what happens in a game.

When you first offer a new service, most people say they don't want it. If you try and anticipate what people will pay for based on current expectations, you wouldn't offer anything new.

When Lisa was younger and had a passion for it, she was kind of like a tomboy. When she started turning into a real girl later, I go 'Hey, where is my little tomboy?' But she still has a real passion for the game, so it's great.

This agreement with the Warner Bros. Television Group and Fox goes beyond video content. It is about creating a multimedia, interactive engagement with the audience.
