It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.
I like my friends to be the hitters. The pitchers, they all have the same brain as I do. The hitters see the game from a different perspective.
Major league hitters have more power. But Japanese hitters are very good at making contact. I don't like either.
For me, that's the difference in good hitters and bad hitters. If you can stay in the zone and make them throw you pitches, you'll be able to drive the ball a little bit better.
I notice a lot of hitters fraternize with pitchers. I see guys laughing and giggling before the game. These are the same pitchers who are trying to beat them. I've never seen Roger Clemens talking to hitters before the game. Bob Gibson was the same way. Man, I don't even see (Greg) Maddux playing golf with hitters.
I'm good friends with Lee Westwood. Bubba, Rickie Fowler. A few of the top hitters.
That's one thing I learned from watching great hitters hit. A lot of hitters, they're ready to hit from pitch one.
Singles hitters drive Fords. Home-run hitters drive Cadillacs.
When you feel like you're going to have a low-scoring game, why not have one of your better hitters have a chance? All of a sudden you're in the ninth inning and you have one of your best hitters on deck that doesn't get up. I always think about that.
A comedian's body is funny as well as his mind being funny, his whole personage is funny.
I'm glad I don't have to face that guy (Don Mattingly) every day. He has that look that few hitters have. I don't know if it's his stance, his eyes or what, but you can tell he means business.
There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. Why don't we just laugh at ourselves? We are funny. Gays are funny. Straights are funny. Women are funny. Men are funny. We are all funny, and we all do funny things. Let's laugh about it.
What I've found in the last few tours is that it takes a week to hit the body. You're still on a high and your body gets into a rhythm. So, you almost have to de-train off it and keep riding the bike for a few days before you take a while off.
I've never considered myself to be naturally funny and it wasn't until I booked my first few jobs in Hollywood that I started thinking, "I guess I'm funny."
Once your body is in workout-mode, a few days off won't hurt. Muscle memory is magical. If you work out consistently, you can afford to miss a few sessions and your body will gladly pick up where you left off.
There are quite a few very funny people in my life. You know those people who don't mean to be funny, they just come out with these zingers that just make you howl with laughter. Usually you find these people in the road crew. A good crew is a key to a healthy funny bone.
