Quote of the Day
"They call him the Ryan Express? Well he might throw pretty hard, but he doesn't havethe staying power of a Vida Blue. I felt so good out there, I could have pitched 'til Friday and still would have gotten the win. You have to have endurance to be successful - on the pitchers mound just like the bedroom." - Oakland Athletics pitcher Vida Blue.
