"Miles Dalrymple: Excuse me, I am tired of living a lie. I need it to be known that I like a big girl. In fact, a large, zaftig, voluptuous, full-figured, big-boned, massive-assive honey, that is what gets me going. I like fat women and they like me... big girls need love too, baby!"

Summer Catch"Why stop with the press box? Huh? If youre gonna start fires, why dont you burn down Main Street?! Hah! You know, the league commissioner wanted to call this game off. I had to convince her that to penalize the rest of the team for the stupidity of a couple of knuckleheads would be unfair. But Robin and Van Leemer? Theyre ghosts. Ghosts!! I packed those idiots on the bus this morning; which means that we finish the regular season and we go into the playoffs without our number one pitcher and our starting shortstop! Look at me when Im talking to you, dammit!! Tomorrow at 4 PM. Dunne! Youve got the freshest arm. You get to start tomorrow. Now get the hell out of my sight, all of you; Im sick and tired of looking at you. Move!!"
