If you believe your catcher is intelligent and you know that he has considerable experience, it is a good thing to leave the game almost entirely in his hands.
There's never been a game plan, and I suppose I've had an uneasy relationship with my ambition. Someone who had been in my year at drama school once said to me that I was terrifyingly ambitious back then. Which was not at all what I felt at the time - I felt paralysed with shyness, though that evaporated.
My job is to protect the integrity of the NFL and to make sure the game is as safe as possible.
Annika has the type of game I want to work on. She's just so consistent. Hopefully I'll be like that one day.
Golf is a puzzle without an answer. I've played the game for 40 years and I still haven't the slightest idea how to play.
You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.
Play more than one game at a time. This is a painless way to learn how to do many things at once.
I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out.
If you tried to make a 'Game of Thrones' movie, you'd have to eliminate two-thirds of the characters, and there'd have to be one storyline, but on TV, you can really get to know the characters in a way that there just isn't time to do in a movie.
I think I can change the game.
A good game will always snatch my attention. No matter the sport, the spirit of competition and audience is nostalgic and relaxing to me.
When you get to play with the big boys, your game improves drastically.
MLB has become overly active, actively involved in the game, the on-the-field game. They're trying to run the game the way they want to and you just have to play along with it, deal with it.
The end game is you change that law to making that law better, whichever law you're talking about.
Michael left because of the Bulls' management, not because he'd lost his love of playing the game.
Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game.
I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard.
I feel I can win the game without scoring 30 points.
In the past, TSR and now Wizards of the Coast have asked me to do game stats for my characters, and I'm never comfortable doing that. It's all relative after all.
Baseball always gets credit for the foundational part of masculinity - the father thing. The eternal game of backyard catch, 'Field of Dreams', the Ripkens, the Griffeys, the Bondses, so on. But football is the real paternal game, because it's a conveyor belt of father figures, in the form of coaches.
I like video games, but they are very violent. I want to create a video game in which you have to help all the characters who have died in the other games. 'Hey, man, what are you playing?' 'Super Busy Hospital. Could you leave me alone? I'm performing surgery! This guy got shot in the head, like, 27 times!'
When you have an intense game, you're going to have arguments. I have no problem with it. I think it's healthy.
When you don't have one that you throw for strikes - they are good hitters - they can cancel out one pitch and go to another. Now I have four pitches. If one's not working, I've got three others. It makes the game totally different.
I don't care about image and all that nonsense. I'm in sweat pants every day. I don't play the game at all.
People look at me like I'm on my way out of the game. I'm just getting started.
After a Saturday game, we're in on a Sunday to cool down and make sure we're fully back at it again. But it doesn't really affect things too much. It's basically like you've had a game on the Saturday, and then you're in the cup on a Tuesday.
I don't have any love for this business or the game or for acting. This is my day job.
Rushing the ball is all about ball control. If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.
How ironic, to be my last game that I ever played would be against Dan in a Super Bowl. The thing I always was afraid of was playing in a Super Bowl when it was raining. I can't throw a wet ball.
War is the statesman's game, the priest's delight, the lawyer's jest, the hired assassin's trade.
The strength of the playing ability is much more important. Only if the strength of the opponent's playing ability is comparable, does the game develop.
I don't bat an eye at stuff like that. I've had my share of wins. If I worried about the games I should have won, it would probably drive me crazy. It was a fun game to pitch in.
I think the beauty of the writing of 'Game of Thrones' is not that the characters are fearless; it's how they overcome their fear, you know?
Because I don't like to play on a full stomach, I try to eat a bigger meal in the morning and less throughout the day leading up to the game.
I've done a lot of basketball drills, not a whole lot of competitive stuff. I have basically been in the gym everyday working on my game, working on the time off that I've had from the game, just getting myself prepared mentally and physically for the season.
If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
