Quote of the Day
"Did you see him out there? He looks like a (expletive) muppet. A six-foot tall, vitamin popping, floppy armed, extremely tanned (expletive) muppet. But damn, the curveball that (expletive) muppet throws is impossible to hit. It's embarrassing. He can give credit to all of the vitamins in the world, but when it comes down to it, we didn't perform." - San Diego Padres first baseman Mike Ivie.
