Win or go home.

(Most of these cliches are so in part due to the elements of truth contained within. The 'game is won/lost on the line of scrimmage' comes to mind.)

Time for some Yogi-isms?

Ninety percent of this game is mental, the other half is physical.

Good pitching will beat good hitting, and vice versa.

It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.

If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, nobody's going to stop them.

"We made some adjustments at halftime"


Or this classic Walby-ism:

"Well, as you know, the team that scores the most points will win the game."

:shock:

I just looked at my wife and said "Tell me he didn't just say what I thought he said." Backed up the PVR and...

yep.


Thanks for the insight Chris.

"Football is a game of blocking and tackling." - Vince Lombardi

Baseball is a game of inches.

Don't try to do too much. Let the game come to you.

We didn't show up to play tonight.

"He makes it look easy." - most recently about Tom Brady

Drive for show. Putt for dough.

We won the first half. Now let's win the second half.

Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

Yogi was the MASTER!

Oh yeah, and you guys that think Larscheid is a homer... heard one this morning from a recent US game, where the PBP guy goes ballistic over a home-team goal, capping it off with "SCRATCH MY BACK WITH A HACKSAW!"

WTF???

That's one of his catch phrases. Mike Lange, who does the pbp call for the Penguins.
