“On Undecided Voters: "To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”

“13 core principles of managing:
1. Make a personal connection first; everything else follows.
2. There is only one team rule. (Respect 90)
3. Freedom is empowering.
4. Never hold a team meeting in your home clubhouse.
5. Do not have a fine system.
6. Wear whatever you think makes you look hot.
7. Empower your coaches.
8. But don’t allow your coaches—or veterans—to be harsh on young players.
9. Question data with feel.
10. Pregame work is excessive.
11. Keep signs simple and to a minimum.
12. A lineup card is all a manager needs in the dugout.
13. Forget “The Book.” Making the first or third out at third base is okay.”
