The Houston Astrodome was kind of a tough field.
We had a good team on paper. Unfortunately, the game was played on grass.
All the Padres need is a fly ball in the air.
I cannot conceive curved lines of force without the conditions of a physical existence in that intermediate space.
The way the field feels like before the game isn't like what the field is during the game.
Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium: It gets late out there early.
They're asking women to do impossible things. I don't believe women can carry a pack, live in a foxhole, or go a week without a bath.
I love football in the rain. That is what it's all about.
I have spent much of my youth on artificial pitches. The body can feel a little heavier, but the ball is there quicker and cleaner.
You can't slow the game here. It's grass, it's always going to be fast.
I spent a lot of time with my teams, especially in the East Coast teams, talking about dealing with the elements a lot of time, and a lot of instruction about field position and those kind of things. I like that variable.
The lines marking a penalty area are a disgrace to the playing fields of a public school.
NFL owners should quit worrying about silly things like players celebrating in the end zone. They should give them something to really celebrate. Get rid of the artificial surfaces.
I have no problems with the blue astro-turf. I have got used to it, and I believe that we have got sufficient games to get accustomed to playing on blue turf.
Play the pass at the right moment - not on a dry pitch and not hitting it hard enough. We don't have to accept it; that was a mistake - no goalkeeper should dribble in this situation.
People don't understand that the feel of the surface is so important for a footballer. The ball travels on the surface; our feet move on the surface - all of that goes into how the game is actually played.
Maybe you're not having a thousand times more injuries, but there's an aspect to the purity of the game and the quality of the game that is played on grass that is different on turf.
I don't think it matters too much if you are batting or bowling first on this pitch. The wicket remains the same throughout the 40 overs. There is only the dew factor that probably comes in the second innings.
Playing on turf affects everything, you know, it affects the way the ball rolls, it affects the way the ball bounces, it affects the way you think about whether or not going into a slide. It's kind of a nightmare.
The only way I'd worry about the weather is if it snows on our side of the field and not theirs.
I definitely played on a lot of muddy northern pitches.
