"I know how the numbers work. I know how OBP works. I know all the numbers that will never be printed in the newspaper. They're slowly working their way on to major league scoreboards. But, how the game really works, it's not what you see out there, and it’s not about short term emotions in games. It's numbers behind numbers… it's how the game works."--Brian Bannister

He always does that

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer.

Jager bombs rock.

But they are what they are. A shot. Great way to get the night started, and keep it going when the party starts to fade. If you like redbull adding vodka just lets you get drunk at the same time and usually will keep your night going longer. With out the jager sitting in your chest for 5 minutes. Though I find jager bombs really depend on who makes them. A good one is 50 50 jager to red bull. I’ve moved on to different jager shots. If you like jager. It straight up served Ice cold is great. Dead Nazis rock and taste minty fresh. One of my personal favorites is monkey bombs Jager and a good root beer. Of course now that I graduated Jager has moved to the back shelf.
