almost difficult enjoyed families few game last move people piece time
I don't know if it's been too much. I just think that with the combination of the ceremonies, the off day, all the families that were in town, all the people that wanted a piece of our time the last few days, it's just been difficult because it's almost like the game was secondary, which is not how it should be. It's great, we enjoyed it, but it's time to move on to a new season.
april cut grow lazy winter
I let it grow every winter and get it cut in April or May. I'm too lazy in the off-season to get it cut.
great matter
Does it matter to me? Not really. He's not here anymore. He was great to have here. He did a lot for this team. But he's not here. He's on the Mariners now.
blown both fall laughed shame step weird
It was just a weird play where I had to step on him or I was going to fall down and not score. I apologized to him, and we both laughed about it. It wasn't something I did intentionally. It's a shame it's getting blown out of proportion.
best three
These have to go down as three of the best (postseason) performances.
guys quit
These guys aren't going to quit or go away. They've done things that are very special.
afraid face last
The day it comes down to me being afraid to come up and face somebody, that should be my last day in baseball.
break came early last nice played time win
The last time I checked, we came out after the break and played pretty well. It's always nice when you win and win early and set everything up.
ball hear hit josh replay strike sure tag third watched
I thought for sure the ball hit the ground. I watched the replay 50 times and I still don't know. The third strike is in the dirt, you run. I didn't hear him say out, Josh didn't tag me.
advantage beat giving good last surprised
That kind of surprised me, because they usually make you beat them. But we were able to take advantage of what they were giving us. That's a good sign, because we did the same thing last year, too.
calls hear hit joe shut situation tough win
I didn't hear (Eddings) say anything. It was a tough situation and I ran. I was like, 'Well, if he calls me out, we'll try and shut them out for another inning.' Luckily, Joe hit one to win the game.
I said, 'What the hell?' and it worked.
both great send taken
Great slide. They had to send both of those guys, because it would've taken a great play by two of us to get him.
