guy peers people respect rubs
I'm not a rah-rah guy -- I just go out and try to do things the right way, ... Hopefully, it rubs off and people respect that. Hopefully, I have the respect of my peers for the way I play the game.
aware fun guys nice night played somebody stands step tried until
I played well. It's nice to play well. I wasn't aware of it (the cycle) until somebody in the stands told me. Then I tried to go deep. We've had different guys every night step up. Right now it's a lot of fun for us.
fans hard hits home mad popular run
He's so popular that if he hits a home run and we congratulate him, fans are mad if we hit him too hard on the helmet.
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.
Hopefully, it's a day to day thing and I will be right back out there.
spill
That's OK. Just as long as they don't spill any of the beer.
defense pitching
It's all about pitching and defense in the playoffs,
ball definitely hitting pathetic tough
It's definitely frustrating. We're not hitting the ball at all. It's tough to be as pathetic offensively as we've been.
strike
They were one strike away from a sweep. You never know what that can do to a team.
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.
nice respond weird
It's weird how things worked. It's nice to respond after what happened.
accomplish count hand percent playing time
I want to be out there every day. You can count on one hand how many times you're 100 percent when you're playing every day. I'll take my time off when we accomplish what we want to accomplish.
ahead games judge tough trying
These games are tough to judge because we're trying not to look ahead to Tuesday, but you kind of get that feeling.
fame fitting great hall job keeping last meant special three
The guy's going to the Hall of Fame, ... It meant a lot to have him out there. It's only fitting he got the last three outs. Trevor Hoffman's done a great job of keeping us together. It's a special moment.
