case fine sure wings
Whatever. They (the U.S. team) want to keep me in the wings in case (Alex Rodriguez) doesn't play, that's what happened. If it was someone else, I'm sure they say it was OK. But I'm fine with it.
bottom games three
We've got to sweep. The door's still open. It's a little crack, but it's open. If we go 3-1, we're still two games out with three to play. We've got to sweep. That's the bottom line.
barry case childhood chop far growing happens head hero mac totally wish worst
Barry was my childhood hero growing up, and what he's going through I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But as far as this being race-related? I totally disagree. If Big Mac (Mark McGwire) was playing, he'd be in the same boat. This is a case where if there is a beast, you chop the beast's head off. That happens to be Barry. I think we all want to see the end of the story. I want the right information.
aggressive
I'm an aggressive hitter. I've always had the same approach.
care matter work
I don't care about the results. It doesn't matter the lineup. I just work on my approach.
good shut stuff team wants
He's a big-game pitcher. You can tell he wants to be out there. He's got the stuff to go out and shut down a good team like that.
He's a big-game pitcher. You can just tell.
blame field finger gonna handled hit improve ourselves panic pointing putting
He didn't hit the panic button. He wasn't putting the blame on anybody, wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. He told us we're gonna still come to the field and improve ourselves every day. He handled it the way a professional should handle it.
fit perfect
He would be just the perfect fit for that job.
easy few fine hitters pick pitches start strikes throwing
He was throwing strikes with his off-speed pitches. That is fine the first few times through the order. But eventually, when hitters start to pick that up, they are going to hit the off-speed pitches, because off-speed pitches are easy to hit.
best lack trade
I can't say enough about Kennedy, Witasick and Payton, ... To me, Payton's been the biggest. I think it's thesingle best trade we've ever made ? just because of the lack of offense.
last remember time
I can't even remember the last time we got swept.
failed felt home house money playing run
We felt like we were playing with house money when they failed to run home on that ball.
blood brain guys house playing rest smelled
We got lucky. They had a brain cramp. The rest of the game, we were playing with house money. ... I think the guys smelled blood in the water.
