board guy hurt key needed redeem run spot starting whether
Regardless, we needed to get something on the board with that at-bat. I'm the key guy in that spot to make something happen. I didn't come through. It hurt us right there. We have to get a run in, whether it's a flyball or something else. In that situation, I'm the person you want up there -- I'm the person I want up there. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, I'll have opportunities to redeem myself.
face minnesota pitching run shut since
When you face top-notch pitching and they shut you down that's one thing, but we haven't run into that since Minnesota (Aug. 12-14).
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.
felt five runs six
There's not one of us who felt we shouldn't have put five or six runs on the board,
bad runners
I've been pretty bad getting runners in from third,
cap colon guy league legitimate rest runs team tip type
Sometimes you really do have to tip your cap to the other guy. I mean, Colon is a legitimate Cy Young type of guy, and Lackey is right up there in the league in strikeouts. But tonight, we should have scored some runs off this guy. The rest of the league does. We're the only team the guy shuts out.
bats confidence hopefully runs score six swinging tomorrow
We haven't been swinging the bats lately. Hopefully we can score five, six runs tomorrow and get our confidence back.

I hope we can score five or six runs tomorrow. I hope this will help get our confidence back. There's a lot of baseball left, I hope we can get going again.

I think we're back into feeling comfortable about scoring runs. I think hitting's really gonna dictate how well we do next month.
handled impressive performance seen stuff wall worried
I think the way his stuff was and how he handled the hitters, that was the most impressive performance I've seen here. He wasn't worried about the lineup, the (left field) wall or anything like that.
dictate hitting next week
Just a week ago, we couldn't find a hit. Hitting is really going to dictate how well we do the next month.
frank hitting
Jermaine said when Frank was in there, he was hitting everything out of the park. Everything is still there, the stroke, the vision. We just have to keep him healthy.
happened last miracle regardless sweep year
Regardless of what happened today, we've got to sweep. We'd need a miracle going for us to sweep them, but you never know. It was a miracle last year with Boston.
middle pitches plate threw
I think he threw a lot of pitches down the middle of the plate that we popped up.
