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.
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.
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.
game hits might per score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits in a game, but if you get two per inning you might not score a run. It?s about stringing them together.

Since the All-Star game and right before, he's been great,
carries course fitting game goes good momentum move onto pieces rough team
It's never good to lose, but every team goes through rough stretches. This game is momentum and you can see it over the course of a game. It carries onto day-to-day stuff, too. We're scuffling right now and pieces aren't fitting right together. It's part of the game, but we have to move on.
gained game miracle
It's a miracle we actually gained a game on them.

It got me right in the tasty cakes. There's a lot of love there.
ability chemistry everybody pull rope team worry
I think there's not enough made about the chemistry of a team and the ability of everybody to pull on the same end of the rope and worry about what matters, and that's wins.
approach extra fun great jimmy pressure putting seems
Jimmy just seems to have a way of not putting extra pressure on himself. He's having fun, and that's a great way to approach the streak.
believe chances critics deal division fourth guys last people picked success ultimately
I think everyone picked us fourth in our division last season. You're going to deal with critics and people who have their own opinions, but ultimately it's about the 25 guys in the clubhouse. If we believe we can go out there and win, our chances of going out and having success go way up.
caught safe
We caught a break. We'll take it any way we can get it. Personally, I like to think of it as retribution, 'cause I thought I was safe at home.
along brings face frank good guys job
Right now, with Frank being out, he's probably the face of this organization. He does a good job with it and brings guys along for the ride.
