hard harder last needed series soon ten work
We needed to play hard all game, not just the last ten minutes. We need to work harder and end this series as soon as possible.
both good hard hopefully time
Yeah, I think it could have been worse, without a doubt. After the MRIs, hopefully we're going to get good news. It's going to be hard to keep both of us out of the lineup. This time of year, it's hard to keep us out.
good hard
I feel great. It was good for my alignment. It's hard to describe, but I feel good.
ball bunt chest good hard next pressure running wanting
I was just running as hard as I could, wanting to make them make a play, and the next thing you know, the ball was in my chest and my arms. I just wanted to make a good bunt and put some pressure on them. It was bang-bang, and fortunately it got by him.
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,
man respect
I respect him as a man and as a manager.
bullpen obviously strongest
Our bullpen obviously is the strongest part of our team. I like our chances, I really do. If we can get to the bullpen ...
bush definitely guys list top
Reggie Bush and the RBV All-Stars. Those guys definitely are at the top of my list for 2005.
lose
It could've been devastating for us to lose (yesterday's game),
maybe mess monday punches took
Maybe if we could have put them away, he wouldn't have come back. We made a mess of this, and we took two big punches on Monday and Tuesday. But we're still standing.
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.
case confident extremely hit matter talked
Khalil and I talked about it, ... He's just extremely confident that he can hit it out in this ballpark, because no matter where you hit it, it can go out of this ballpark. That's not the case in our park.
far hitter percentage productive trying
My whole thing is getting on base. My on-base percentage is the No. 1 thing. That equates to runs, ... I'm just trying to be productive as far as being a leadoff hitter and being on base.
bunch guys pressures succumbed teams
I think most teams would have succumbed to the pressures and folded. We have a bunch of guys who are fighters.
