I don't think there will be a problem with people moving back, but I think it will attract a different group of people. I lived there for 12 years. I know how the city works.
Every ball was up in the strike zone. No matter who you're facing, you're going to give up hits when you do that.
That's a big turn in that game. Give Roger a 1-0 lead in the first. To him, it probably feels like he's got nine,
It's a great feeling, ... There's not a lot of people that come from this area, never mind play in the big leagues.
I told my wife I didn't want to do it anymore, ... I wanted to come home.
It's all in your mind, ... It has nothing to do with how much rest you have. Concentrating on what you're doing, that's what makes you successful.
It only happened twice. But they weren't going to take a chance.
It's unacceptable no matter where we are in the season. It was very out of character for me, it made me want to puke.
The addition of Andy is big for them. They've always had a great bullpen. They have a team that knows how to play the game, they take quality at-bats and play the game the right way. It's fun competing against a team like that, knowing that they're a lot like us. They go out and do the little things to win. They're going to pitch, bunt, play defense and do everything it takes to win.
It's a simple pitch to throw if you grasp the concept,
It was a goal coming into Spring Training to battle all year and get a chance to play in the playoffs like we did last year, ... My only goal was to stay healthy and try to be consistent all year, and have a chance to be here with this team, and it's worked out.
That's all right, come back and get the next guy.
There was a lot of pressure put on us,
It was just a strange game. I think I made a few mistakes. It was just one of those nights.
