Some of those remind me of Yoggi B!
Difference being he knew what he was saying.

"We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play"

When you come to a fork in the road take it

It's like deja-vu, all over again.

The future ain't what it used to be.

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.

Yoggi Berra had a brain and a way with words. The schmucks above should grateful to have enough brains to tie their shoes.

My favorite baseball quote of all time by Casey Stengal: "Choo Choo Coleman was the fastest catcher I ever saw running after a passed ball."

My favorite quote by broadcaster Dizzy Dean on seeing Jesus Alou beat out a bunt to first base: "Holy Moses can that Jesus run."

I don't know who said this: "When you come to a "Y" in the road, take it."

Phil, you are crackin' me the h*ll up. Now tell me somethin' who is actually on first isn't he? Ain't thatta beeotch!

Why do they even bother to do "pre-game" interviews ??

They all say the same dumb sh*t.
