I'm sorry Mike (aka Michael Barrett), but I've got to cut you loose.

I think, probably, after the Carlos Zambrano and Michael Barrett stuff a couple years ago, we got complacent ... We just assumed that we would be able to develop crazy from within, and that Carlos would produce all the crazy we needed. But he can only fill our need for crazy every fifth day. Baseball just isn’t that simple.
If you're a good hitter, I'm not worried about everybody being able to hit 40 home runs ... I think Jacque Jones is capable of hitting 25 plus home runs. Aramis [Ramirez], with a healthy year under his belt, can hit more than 30. [Michael] Barrett has a little pop as a catcher. I think we're more versatile, more athletic, I think we'll run a lot better and we'll play better defense.
OOOOOOOhhhhhhh! Look mom, I got a Brian Giles’ jock strap, a Snickers wrapper from Kahlil Greene, and some bloody Michael Barrett kleenex in my box. Can I take it to school with me tomorrow for show and tell?
The Cubs had Michael Barrett day a week after he was traded to the Padres, and the Devil Rays had Jason Tyner day postponed because they sent him back to the Minors

When we first took off the first morning, my Michael Barrett bobblehead slid off the counter because I forgot to tape him down ... He didn't break; he just got a bruise right on his cheek.
I've seen this spring and he looks like a more relaxed guy in this environment ... This guy, if you look at history, has been a solid everyday player with consistent numbers. Our hope is that in 2008 that he'll be more like the Michael Barrett of old.
There were a couple times last year when [Josh] Bard got suspended and hurt, before we traded for Michael Barrett, I was basically the backup ... It was not fun.
I watched a lot of baseball. I had so many buddies still in Chicago and all over the place. I went to six to eight Dodgers games, I saw these guys [the Padres] a few times, getting to see Greg [Maddux] and Michael [Barrett]. I think it was therapeutic to watch games. I couldn't turn my back on it. It's been such a big part of my life.
