I've come up with several.  "Go to the bathroom now, because we're not stopping until we get there" seems to be a frontrunner.

Coop getting in on the act:

When the players arrived to the clubhouse on Thursday morning, the walls were covered with photocopied signs containing printed messages.

...

Hanging on the door of the clubhouse entrance was a sign that read, "Great leaders are committed."

No, that was not a reference to a psych ward. Cooper is a big believer in positive affirmation and was the mastermind behind the sign project.

"Once it gets in your head, it sticks sometimes," Cooper said.

The skipper found a lot of the phrases in a book he's reading, and he credited American author William Arthur Ward as the author of several inspirational quotes he found especially poignant.

"'Flatter me, and I may not believe you,'" Cooper recited. "'Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I may not forget you.'

Are you saying that if they play their cards right, they might get to meet the whole gang?

I'm reminded of the scene from The Natural with the little "power of positive thinking" guy in the clubhouse.

"Losing is a disease.   As contagious as bubonic plague."

A slogan for every occasion (with at least one or two that don’t completely suck…):

Proving yet again that ESPN "baseball analysts" don’t know shit (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?page=05expertpicks)! [for the optimist (or homer such as myself)]

Irrational Exuberance [for the pessimist]

Chicks dig the long ball [on the Lineup (for the pessimist, on the rotation)]

Three men and a baby [on the infield, for those sick on hearing Berkman whine about missing his friends…]

Back in Black [on the addition of Bourn and Chacon / promotion of Coop, and the hope that Joe Morgan will finally shut the hell up]

Speed kills [on Bourns potential to wreak havoc on opposing teams, or any of the many mishaps-o-Spaz]

Two guys, two cups [on the catcher tandem of Towles and Ausmus]

At Least We’re Still 100% ex-Cub Free or in the alternative Better Things for Better Living … Through (Team) Chemistry

Wild Card my ass, this is the NL Central!
