bit road
Obviously, on the road it's going to be a little bit rougher for him.
bit seem
I've been working with my mechanics, ... They seem to be a little bit more sound.
doubling guy hurting public ten
Doubling it is good. I think 10 is a little light. Ten you can get away with as a team. You can do without a guy for 10 days, but 20, you're kind of hurting your ballclub, too. Not just your own public scrutiny, but you're hurting your ballclub to win.

clutch double game guy hit mess mind pitches second strikes thrown throws uses
First time, yes. Second time, no. He uses that too much, in the back of your mind you know he has that, it's one of those pitches you know you can double clutch and still hit it. If he hasn't thrown it all game and he has two strikes on a guy and he throws it up there, it's going to mess a guy up.
figure team
First I've got to figure out what team I'm on,
boos mixed overall seen
A lot of cheers, probably some boos mixed in. Understandable. I think overall it will be better than worse. I've seen a lot of support.

This isn't a shut case. It's not easy to do something like that, I know. Yeah, he's made some mistakes, but a lot of people have. We're just going to have to see how it plays out.
explode good happened last nights picked win
This is one of the nights that we picked up our pitcher. There is going to be other nights where we're going to win 2-1 (and) they're going to have to pick us up. It was a good night to explode after what happened last night.
anytime asked bad contract free games given happened hard help home player rule year
Anytime a player is day-to-day like a Rule 5 player is, you can't help but take the bad games home with you. We asked for a contract in 2002 and 2003, but the Orioles weren't ready. If they had not given me a contract, I was going to play hard this year and see what happened in free agency.
ride
This probably is a little different, something new, ... I'll ride it as long as I can.
easiest
I just wanted to give him something. It was the easiest thing I could do. I wanted him to have something of mine.
managing past
In a lot of ways, he was managing in the past. He just didn't have the title.
accuse along broke clubhouse easier guys looks seven team together
I really like how this team looks in the clubhouse. I think it's going to be a lot better. We're together for six, seven months. It makes it a lot easier if guys get along and guys have fun. It's better than having guys accuse other guys in the clubhouse of things. That broke us up a little bit.
