I’ve suffered right along with all the rest of the fans. We lost like seven one-run games. When we hit, we did not pitch. When there was pitching, there was no hitting.

We have experienced problems with the pay stations that we are trying to work through, but it created such a level of customer dissatisfaction that I thought it necessary to remove them from service while...

We want to add an American League pennant… and to bring the World Series to Arlington.

I’m confident in his abilities and for the continued growth of the organization.

He hit three that I didn’t think he got all of and they still went out.

John has an important job here with the Rangers. I want him as part of our team as we move forward and I am glad he has decided to stay with our organization.

We just were talking about what a great time it is for the American Airlines Center to have two teams to go really far in the playoffs. This is the first time we’ve got both...

We’re envious of them,

We have tremendous respect for the player and what he has meant to the game of baseball.

We’re trying to put ourselves in the best position to win, period, if not this year, next year.

He’s got a truly brilliant mind, he’s a walking baseball encyclopedia. I think his youth is an asset to us. ‘¦ I did my first leveraged buyout when I was about that age. Young people...

We doubled the size of our house but in effect we kept the energy use the same.

There are economic differences between the teams, so I’m sure some teams want to get playing because they’re losing money by not playing. But I anticipate we will come out of this with a total...

Baseball is all about pitching, and we know we have to improve our pitching.

There was a strong and unanimous feeling that this (the incident) was something that could not be repaired.

We’re just waiting. We have tremendous respect for the player and what he has meant to the game of baseball. We hope he decides to play. Once he’s made the decision, he’s a player we...

What you don’t want to do is to hang on to the aging superstar past his prime and take resources away you can otherwise use to build a better overall team.

He is a truly brilliant mind. His youth is an asset to us. He’s a truly exceptional talent.

He expressed interest, he wants to talk to his wife about it.

[The offer was to buy the entire league for $3.5 billion. That would average $117 million per team.] It’s just a company trying to be opportunistic, … I would say the Stars alone are worth...

I don’t have the insight with the Longhorns that I do with the two teams that I own, but as a fan and reading the sports pages, I’m bullish about the Longhorns.

It was not a big deal. There’s not a lot of joy in the Rangerdom right now. That’s baseball.

I’ve been watching him real close the last year and a half, and I knew he was ready to do this. He’s willing to think outside the box. He has a mental capacity to consider...

You don’t even have to win a championship every year to draw the fans. You just have to show you’re really trying.

He’s the man. I’m going to listen to his advice. He’ll make the recommendations and the tough calls on the players we draft, players we sign.

He could come incognito as a fan or participate in the ceremonies.

Without Adobe’s partnership, USGBC never would have been able to implement this upgrade as quickly and seamlessly.

I think the University of Texas has the chance to become the finest public university in the country.

We have really been moved by so much tragedy that I said to our guys that we need to do something that can lighten their load momentarily and give the people a fun evening. We...

His youth is an asset to us. He’s 28, the same age I made my first leveraged buyout. It shows you young guys can do good things in this world. As you get to know...

We want to build with a core of great young players that we have and by adding to that core with the pieces we need to become a champion.

This is something that has been openly talked about on a very planned basis. John Hart did resign, period. I’m in a lot of businesses with lots of people and I know when they’re ready...

I told him he could come incognito, or as a fan, or as part of the ceremonies.

Roger’s got the ball now, we just have to wait and see if he decides to pitch or not.

If you take the approach that you want to scrape every last nickel off the table, that’ll work one or two times, but after awhile, your reputation will precede you.

There is no doubt that the hard work of the Johnson staff and district staff as we implement new teaching and learning strategies is at the heart of this recognition, … We are very proud...

We had a great visit with Roger and Debbie. It was a get-to-know meeting. We said we’d talk down the road after the [World Baseball Classic] and then he’ll decide if he’ll pitch again and...

The management team he (Hart) put in place allows me to promote Jon Daniels to become the youngest general manager in major league history,

Texas politics has been dominated by George Bush for so long. It’s a whole new world.

Roger has to decide if he’s going to pitch this year or not. If he decides to play, we’re certainly interested in talking to him and we’ve expressed that interest to his agent. Roger’s got...

My style is to keep folks in place who are good managers and want to win.

Does the district look significantly different today than it did last year? The simple answer is no, not significantly,

Roger lives 15 minutes from Minute Maid Park. That will always be a factor. Roger is a true champion. What he is doing now, playing in the [World Baseball Classic], shows he’s a true champion....

If we get our attendance up around 3 million, things could change,

I’m going to tell him I think our fans would really embrace him, tell him that I think he could take us deep in the playoffs and maybe to our first World Series … come...

He’s under contract for the next three years. But if we can extend him on a basis that works for both parties, we will pursue it aggressively.

It’s a little more than I budgeted for, but I always said it’s player specific. Based on what we did, I’m very satisfied.

Our job is to give them an exciting product and make their tickets more affordable, which we’re doing, and get them back to sample the product.

We looked at that bad experience and said this is a great opportunity to use a problem solving strategy we’re going to use in the future under ISO, a process to resolve issues related to...

I didn’t ask if there were any questions.
