They actually came to him as members of the Czech national team, which played two fall exhibition games against the Wolfpack at Doak Field as part of a U. But both were impressed enough with what they saw of the facilities, the coaching staff and the weather to jump at the opportunity when Avent approached them about playing for the Wolfpack.
In an effort to help ease their transition to a new culture, team officials had student manager Cal Tomasic, an American of Czech descent, room with the international freshmen. The biggest difference is the weather and the food. January 13, No one knows that better than Vojtech Mensik and Marek Chlup. In many ways Christianity is a very simple faith that we have made incredibly legalistic and difficult. To paraphrase the line above. You love your neighbor.
Sometimes it is easy. Sometimes life rains on you. Why do I want to make it so maddeningly complex? Jesus said that two things are the most important. One of the religion scholars came up. Today I sit here and wonder why I ever tried to make it anything else? So lucid and accurate—that God is one and there is no other. And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself.
I wonder how the body of Christ would look differently if we concentrated on those two simple commands? Would we worry so much about the worship music style and the vestibule carpet color? Why do we get so exorcised about what other Christians are doing and other people are saying? Why do we care so much about being treated fairly and getting what we deserve? She walks up in the rain. I just want to be. Hell of a guy. I actually saw him read a book without pictures once!
The setup: Annie and LaLoosh are disrobing, but the brash youngster keeps his socks on. You mean Nuke. You said Crash. Listen, sweetheart.
They say the darndest things. When Nuke gets back from a road trip, she turns on the charm. Baby ducks are cute. I hate cute! I want to be exotic and mysterious. The setup: Crash-to-Nuke wisdom time! Hold it like an egg. See, there are some lizards that have a parietal eye behind their heads so they can see backwards.
Or an Aztec, I get them confused. Kudos, Annie! Crash feels he did nothing wrong. And you should know that! And possibly the worst Durham team in a half-century. Is the modern-day athlete a pale imitation of the great old warriors?
Only Crash Davis stands out this year, begging the question: What are these boys thinking about? The setup: Crash walks into the Durham managers office for the first time.
You hung a curveball on an pitch in a game in the bottom of the eighth and I tattooed it over the Michelin tire sign and beat you, I should have thrown a slider. Damn, Crash. How are ya? Why the hell am I back in A ball? When I first saw the movie, I figured this was an exaggeration. Just brilliant script writing.

Twenty-one greatest days of my life. You know you never handle your luggage in the show? Someone else carries your bags. You hit white balls for batting practice. Ballparks are like cathedrals. The hotels all have room service and the women all have long legs and brains. I ranked everything before I put actual numbers on the list. Just a happy coincidence. The setup: Annie and Millie are sitting in their game-day spot. Pre-nickname Nuke is throwing the ball all over the place — he finished the game with 18 strikeouts and 18 walks, both new league records — and the girls have a talk.
How was Ebby Calvin LaLoosh? Millie is a sneaky quote superstar in this movie. She had a ton of quotes in my original list of The setup: Another team bus incident. Lots happen on those long bus trips in the minors. You got a gift. When you were a baby, the gods reached down and turned your right arm into a thunderbolt. I got a Porsche already. I got a with a quadraphonic Blaupunkt. What you need is a curveball. The setup: Nuke shakes off Crash.
Wants to throw a fastball instead of a curve. The hitter watches the homer hit the bull beyond the right-field fence, which annoys Crash. What are you doing standing here? Run, dummy! Look at that. He hit the f—ing bull. Guy gets a free steak. You having fun yet? Skip, the manager, tells him they want Crash, a veteran catcher, to mentor bonus baby Ebby LaLoosh, a right-handed pitcher with an arm capable of reaching the majors.
Beats the hell out of working at Sears. Boy, I once worked there. Sold Lady Kenmores. Nasty work.
