games refuse
We still have 26 games to go. I refuse to give in.
certainly fact good until
We battled. We didn't give up. As we say, we still lost, but I feel good about the fact that we certainly battled right until the end.
ball guys percent running
To Brandon's credit, he was running hard. You often see guys going 60 percent on a ball like that, and they don't score.
coming good player since swinging
What a big hit. He's been a different player since coming back from the minors. The way he's been swinging the bat, you're going to get good production.
bounce broke couple games last losing rough row win
We broke out. It's been a while, hasn't it? To win the series, win the last two games in a row after a losing streak, after a rough couple of weeks. We usually bounce back every time. We'll see.
decision
We're going to have to make a decision on Carlos,
certainly decision easy few might opened sure weeks
We're going to have to, ... I'm sure he'll be a topic. We're not over yet, so he might make that decision easy one way or another. But he's certainly opened some eyes. This has not been ordinary.

hitting
We're just not hitting right now. It isn't that we aren't trying.
bothers guys losing magic message sit
We're just not getting it done. I'm not getting the message across. This really bothers me. I know I'm responsible, but guys have got to do it.

good might
When you think you might see him, you don't, then there he is. It was good to see him.
credit except guys honest job seem supposed worse
I give those guys credit over there, ... They have a worse record. They're battling. And that's what we should be doing, to be honest with you. That's the kind of way you're supposed to play. At this point, they have nothing to play for except for what you're supposed to play for: It's another game. That's the job, and they seem to be doing a better job of it than we are right now.
comments stir
If those comments stir things up a little bit, that's OK, because we're all accountable,
anybody far few given hard record starts track
His track record has been pretty good. Given a chance, he's been able to contribute. The hard part is it is so few and far between at-bats, and like anybody else, he starts pressing.
friday full ready session sharp side
He's going to need at least one full side session to get him sharp enough to pitch, so if that comes Friday or Saturday, he's not going to be ready for this weekend,
