high hit mistake pitch plate
He got a pitch out over the plate -- probably a mistake -- and I hit it on a line. Hit it high here, and it's not going to go.
strike
They were one strike away from a sweep. You never know what that can do to a team.
pitch played score though threat time
He'll be a presence. They're still not going to pitch to him, even though he hasn't played all year. But he's going to get on base. Any time you get on base, you're a threat to score a run.
counted people proud talking week
I know a lot of people are talking about our record. But I'm proud of what we've done. I think we've accomplished a lot. It's awesome. People counted us out every week and here we still are.
hit snapped top wrist
I had it, ... My wrist was over the wall. When my glove hit the top of the wall, it popped out. When it snapped back is when it popped out.
admired excited help playing
I've always admired the way he plays. He'll help us defensively and give us some right-handed power. I'm excited about playing with Mike.

He made some mistakes. Like we talked earlier today, he doesn't make too many of them, and when he does, we have to try to get some production from his mistakes, and we had some big at-bats tonight.

If you know how the game's played and what it's about,
dave diego grew san watching
I grew up in San Diego watching Dave Winfield, ... In '95, when I got called up, there he was -- my teammate. That was a pretty big thrill.
confidence expects fifth hot maybe year
He started off really hot and has confidence. That's what this game's about. He has so much confidence out there, I think every fifth day he expects to win. Maybe you couldn't say that a year ago.
close dropped homer
The replays showed it was close to being a homer and I just dropped it.
baseball
(The sweep) was disappointing, but only because we know we can play better baseball than that.
close great performance pitching played season seems smell time today weird win
It seems that every win at this time of the season is big. When you're getting close to the end, you can kind of smell it. Today we played kind of weird baseball, but we got a great pitching performance from Pedro. And in a one-run game, anything can happen.
