A full season is like crossing an ocean. It's every day the same guys, same uniforms, same colors, and it's easy to get lost and lose your perspective before you reach the other shore seven months later. Helping people understand where they are along the way and what their recipe for success is, and being there to get them back on track when it slips away is my job.

Reggie, you know you're in a slump and you need help. I'm going to tell you what your problems are. Your big problem is -- you're not going to like this, Reggie -- but you think you're God. Reggie, you're all wrong. I'm God.

When he hit that first ball, I wish you were in the dugout. For him to get off to that kind of start is a fairy tale.

You hear pitching coaches talking about your rookies and they'll say, "This guy is going to be a real good middle-innings pitcher."... What it really means is you never get that fourth at-bat against a great pitcher. I used to have to face Jim Palmer in maybe three or four games a year, and the first two or three at-bats against him were tough, believe me. But the fourth time up I thought maybe I had a chance. Nowadays, that pitcher is out of the game by then and you're looking at a sinker-baller like (Dan) Quisenberry or a Jay Howell throwing gas. That good last at-bat is gone.

William Lamar "Billy" Beane
Oakland Athletics

Billy, we're a small-market team, and you're a small-market GM. I'm asking you to be okay not spending money that I don't have. And I'm asking you to take a deep breath, shake off the loss, get back in a room with your guys, and figure out how to find replacements for the guys we lost with the money that we do have.
