best team
We believe, ... we're the best team in baseball.
clearly identify lead problems stated sudden theme
There are clearly stated problems that we have to identify and have to uncover. The overlying theme is things that would lead to sudden incapacitation,
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.
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.
ninth until wait win
You don't always want to wait until the ninth inning to win games, but we haven't had that. That propels us, to know we can win at any time. You don't want to go into the postseason scuffling.
guys opportunity team veteran
We've got a veteran ballclub, and guys who are still very hungry. There's a lot of guys on this team who haven't won. This is an opportunity for us, and we don't want to let it go. There's been no panic, and guys are still banding together.
agent care far meet needs pilot report seeing taking
When I'm seeing a pilot, I'm taking care of the pilot -- but I'm doing it for the FAA, ... I'm an agent of the FAA, and that's who I report to, so it's far more important that I meet their needs than the patient's needs.
brad chance dominated gets settled
We had Brad on the ropes, but he battled out there and competed. When you have a chance to put him away, you have to before he gets comfortable and settled in. He pretty much dominated once he got settled in.
model role ways welcome
There are so many other ways that they could go with their lives. If I can be a role model in any way, I welcome that.
