baseball enjoyed forget playing time winning
Forget winning the World Series. I enjoyed playing baseball for the first time in a long time.
freaky happen
It's one of those freaky things that happen. It'll probably never happen again.
changed happy loose month
It's been about a month that he's changed on the bench. He's not as loose and happy go-lucky as he was but, hey, that's the way it is.
bats hot playing ran red swinging team
It's disappointing to not get this one in. We ran into a red hot team that's swinging the bats well and they're playing well at home.
flow last memories nice work
It's nice to get out there and get back into the flow a little bit. Try not to think of the memories of last year. It's a new year, and we have a lot of work to do.
against certain hate playing
He's the kind of guy, if you're on the other team, you hate playing against him. When he's one of your teammates, you know why he does certain things.
care certain easier handle last mark mind time year
I pretty much did it last year anyway, so there's no real difference. I've done it before in Montreal. It's actually easier for someone that doesn't play every day to handle it, so you have time to take care of certain problems. I don't mind doing it. I like to know what's going on. We didn't always have that when Mark was doing it.

You play with him and you realize that it's all part of his fire. You take the good with the bad.

I didn't play on any of the other teams in the past 88 years here, so I'm not part of that history, ... I'm on the 2005 team and that's all I really care about.
both normally period
They'll both be OK. Right now they're both going through the dead-arm period that they would normally go through in the spring.
game home meaningful opportunity sat series sink situation until
I had an opportunity to play in the World Series and actually play in a game and get meaningful at-bats. To be in that situation . . . it didn't sink in until I got home and sat down.
bit dominating hit throw wants
He still can be just as dominating when he wants to. I think sometimes now, when he makes a mistake, it may get hit a little bit more often, because he doesn't throw 98 or 99 now. But he's still a dominating pitcher.
