"I told him it was OK. It's early. He is going to be back to his old self. It's only a game. There are more important things in life. It's a baseball game. I want to win and we are concerned about [losing]. At least [Pena] showed some compassion for it." (Manny Acta, via Nationals dot com, ...

As usual, I'm giving myself just 10 words per team... AL ...
