blast challenged early followed great paul runs start
We've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.
biggest hitting instead key kinda nice playing relax runs three
We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.
definitely finally gets ready talking
We've been talking about it for a while. Now we're just ready to get out there and get going. You have that anticipation, it finally gets here and you definitely get excited.
baseball love speaks volumes
This whole weekend, all these people--it just speaks volumes about our fans. They still love baseball here.
call help maybe motivate shaking
Maybe this is a wake-up call for us, too, to say 'Hey, we're shaking things up,' and, hopefully, it can help motivate us.
coming face middle reason season start talent talking turning
On paper, no question, we're a better team. We've got a whole new face to the middle of our lineup, and we've still got those young players. That's reason for optimism. At the same time, we've got to start turning the young talent into wins. You can't keep coming into every new season talking about young guys.
excited forward good heard looking manager offense pirates run spring
No offense to Lloyd (former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon) and his staff, but I'm looking forward to going to spring training. And there's going to be a different look, a different feel, a different way things are run and I've heard nothing but good things. So I'm just excited about the way we're going to go about things.
cylinders hope jobs
There's not much we can do about that. As hitters, you just do your jobs and hope we can get all cylinders going at some point.
guides slowly taken terrible
I started this neighborhood, and it's slowly been taken over. But that's OK. I'm just going to get one of those idiot's guides to Spanish. I'm terrible at it.
forward giving looking nice
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
actual days early few jump stuff week workouts
I wanted to get a little jump on things. It's not like I am here a week early or anything, but it's a few days to get the soreness and all of that stuff out before the actual workouts start.
few guys team tried
A few guys on this team probably tried to do too much a few times, myself included.
pitchers
A lot of it probably has to do with the pitchers that they've had.
country following goes great names realize
There's a lot of great names on that trophy. Being Canadian, I have a whole other country that's following me. You don't play for the awards, but at the same time, you realize that it goes a long way for a lot of people.
