game great group guys happen happy pulling stop until
We had 25 guys pulling for the same goal, and we didn't stop until we got there. We had a great thing happen to us. Here I feel we have a group of guys who want to play the game the right way, hard. I'm happy to be here.
game
tired, over and done with, and we have another game tomorrow.
alive born fans focus media nobody parents playing talk
We know the dates. But nobody here was alive in 1959. And most of our parents weren't even born in 1917. That's for the media and the fans to talk about. We have to focus on what we need to do, and you can tell by the way we're playing that we're doing that.
team tunnels light
We can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to keep battling. We're a team that has stuck together through the good times and the bad times. Our reward is near.
attention chips choke everybody knew nobody paid playing stuck talk team together
Through all of the choke talk and everything else that was said, this team really stuck together when the chips were down and we weren't playing as well together as we knew we could. Everybody stuck together and nobody paid attention to that and we were all a unit, and it paid off in the end.

When he gets on, he causes problems for the defense, steals a base here and there. It's huge for us.

Watch Jason Johnson . That's the guy who really impressed us last season. He's going to be a real good one, real good.

He's definitely a leader on this team. He's been here, probably outside of Frank, the longest on this team. He knows this organization and most of us have played together for quite some time. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.
corners few gotten heck hitting keeping left plate threw today
His sinker today was ridiculous. Some days, he's left it over the plate of late and gotten a few of them hit. He was hitting the corners all day and keeping them off balance. He threw a heck of a game.
absolute ball composure curve gotten lose nerves steel
He's filthy. His ball explodes on you. His curve ball has gotten better and better every season. He's lights-out and he has absolute nerves of steel on the mound. I've never see him lose his composure once.
accustomed playing somebody
We're playing upside-down baseball. But that's been our story. There's always somebody doing something he's not accustomed to doing.
effort everybody felt game guys hanging intensity
I felt everybody was in the game tonight. The effort and intensity was in the dugout. Guys were hanging on every pitch.

I was praying it would be us before the Cubs, ... It's really nice to see the whole city come together like this.
people
I don't know why people have to be negative. Why can't everyone just be positive?
