I felt like we controlled the line of scrimmage and that's what it's all about. Those guys we have up front are the ones who are laying it on the line to give us time to throw and we definitely couldn't run like we have been running.
More Quotes from Bill Lee:
Our defense just has guys and coaches that have a lot of pride and heart. They take it serious when it comes to keeping teams out of the end zone. They bow up when they have to.Bill Lee
I was always matching wits with authority. Pondering over my past and present hassles, I began to wonder why my life had taken the direction it had. What cosmic forces had led me to this precise moment that saw me, once again, dancing on the rim of the volcano The answers started to come to me as my life flashed before my eyes. I think it all started when I was arrested as a pyromaniac.

Most of the managers are lifetime .220 hitters. For years pitchers have been getting these managers out 75% of the time and that's why they don't like us.

Kids don't learn the fundamentals of baseball at the games anymore.

When cerebral processes enter into sports, you start screwing up. It's like the Constitution, which says separate church and state. You have to separate mind and body.

I stopped watching the game and sat back to watch the fans. It was like watching a Fassbinder film, depicting mankind at its most berserk. The experience made me wonder if we're not breeding a society that lacks self-esteem. I don't think we pat people on the back enough, letting them know that being able to fix a sink is just as much skill as being able to get Rod Carew out with the bases loaded. And more worthwhile, if you were to ask me. People must be made to feel their value. Otherwise, when they discover they can't find any thrills in religion or in cults, they head out to the ballpark, seeking a vicarious sense of fulfilment. They're tired of long-term reality they don't recognize what it has to offer them. All they want is one good fantasy. Realizing that really shook me up.
