It will be nice to thank the fans for the time I was able to spend there.
gets run scoring turns
Scotty gets on, he makes things happen. We end up scoring a run and just that one run turns into five.
exciting good guys last time
It's even more exciting now than it would be if I was still on the team. It's going to be the last time I get to see the guys for a while. This will be a good reunion.
both hit plays scouting
I've never had back-to-back plays like that. We had scouting reports, and both times they hit it the other way.
city nice praying together
I was praying it would be us before the Cubs, ... It's really nice to see the whole city come together like this.
colors easy entire everybody season stuck team together true winning
This whole team through the entire season has been nothing but a cohesive unit. It's easy to say that when you're winning like we were in the first half. But I think the true colors show when you're scuffling a little bit. Everybody stuck together same as we did when we were winning.
battling hopefully
We've been battling and battling and battling. It's part of the season. You have to go through it. Hopefully we can get through it and get it out of the way.
bite bright dwell early fully happened played sloppy stretch
We've played sloppy at times, and it's come back to bite us, but you have to try and look on the bright side. It's better to go through a stretch like this early and try to right the ship. If we dwell on what's happened so far, we're not going to be fully into Monday.
beat earlier games good played relaxed stuff three thrown
We played these three games the way we did earlier in the season. We had so much stuff thrown at us, but once we clinched, we relaxed and beat a very good team.
believes division everybody finish forward fourth hard last looking next picked win year
We were picked to finish fourth last year. Everybody in here believes we can compete. You can't win the division by looking forward to the end of the year or the next game. You just have to play hard and concentrate on each game.
might score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits, and get two an inning, and you might not score a run. It's about stringing them together. It's one of those where sometimes it clicks, and sometimes it doesn't.
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.
accomplish everybody takes today trying
We're trying to accomplish one goal. That's to get to the World Series. It takes everybody and today everybody contributed.
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.
