It's a big game. It's a very important game for us.
It's a bad blow. It seems like we've had to deal with a lot of injuries this year.
It was only appropriate that we won on Sandberg's day. It was quite a ceremony and we played well.

It was big because now the bullpen is back in sync.
It was frightening at first because you heard that loud sound. They've got a new-style helmet now. I hope it works. It has a little less padding and more holes, I guess to absorb the shock. We got its first test today.

It was filled with ups and downs and a constant struggle. There was never a point where you felt you were in control for a long extended period of time.
It's one of the best trades you don't make. Walker made some fine defensive plays tonight. He's hitting the ball outstanding.
It's the first time I've seen four solo homers in the first four innings.
It's more of an honor system. I'd be the first one to admit it. But if they're young and they're drinking, they're done anyway. You can tell.
It's a possibility. We'll iron it out this week.
It's good for us because we're counting on them. They're on the team, and we feel they're ready to handle it. The more success they have, the more comfortable they feel, and the more comfortable all of us feel.
I've got to talk to him first. I'm sure he wants to get back to .500.
