best team
We believe, ... we're the best team in baseball.
baseball definitely produce shows talked whatever
We've talked about having a swagger. But when you play .350 baseball, or whatever we played, you can't tell yourself to have that swagger. You have to go out there and produce to have it. When you show you can come back and get big hits, then it shows that it's possible. I think it definitely snowballs.
blood expected guys smell
When those guys have the lead, they smell blood. No one expected anything from us.
chip coming consistency guys hear looking prove shoulder terrible
We're looking for more consistency out of our team. I think that a lot of guys are still coming in with a little chip on their shoulder because you hear that it was a fluke, it was a terrible division. We're out to prove that we can do it again.
advocacy five house initiative key meeting policy somewhat surreal today white
It was somewhat surreal to think that HIMSS first launched its advocacy initiative just a little over five years ago and here we are today meeting in the White House with the President's key HIT policy advisors on our members' advocacy agenda.
extensive impacts talking
You're talking about a catastrophic disaster, with extensive damage. Look at the impacts of Katrina: You're going to get that all over again.
funding high school
I wanted to find something that was different and a lot of times overlooked, and that's high school kids. The funding often is not there,
goat home last obviously
Obviously (the home run) was the last thing on my mind. I went from goat to hero.
glue guy pivotal rock
He's kind of like the pivotal guy on this team. He's been the rock or the glue or whatever. He's the one guy you don't want to lose.
busting knew line tail
I was busting my tail down the line because I knew it was going to be a bang-bang play at first,
concrete hopefully race speak
He'll hopefully be in the race but there's nothing concrete to speak of at the moment.
doubles following hit last mark normally year
I hit more doubles and triples last year than I normally do, and I had Mark Loretta following me in the lineup.
bush definitely guys list top
Reggie Bush and the RBV All-Stars. Those guys definitely are at the top of my list for 2005.
