That is all.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Go Coogs!

I watched Mike for 3 years at UH, and never ever thought he would progress to THIS level.   He was obviously off the charts in the speed department, and was an absolutely all-american in the field.    But he had zero pop, none.   He hit the ball over the fence 1 time in 3 years.   I think he hit the wall on one bounce our less about a 5 times, with an aluminum bat.

How is this for weird stats, his last season, he had 1 double and 5 triples.   
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

Ditto. And he seems very humble and grounded. I'm glad we have him.

And he's lived through some serious managerial malpractice, especially last season.
