situation tough trying worse
I think she's in a tough situation with what she's trying to do. I don't think she was worse than the others, I don't think she was better.
trying different certain
I'm a different hitter than Chipper Jones. He goes up looking for certain pitches to hit. I go up there looking for something over the plate and try to hit it hard.
fun guys trying win
It's fun because a lot of young guys have come up in this division. We're all trying to do the same thing, and that's win a title.
happens instead trusting trying
The first at-bat I was trying to go out and get everything instead of trusting my hands, That's what happens when you trust your hands.
break threw throw tough
I thought he would go to first. It was a break for us that he threw it a little high. It's a tough throw for any pitcher.
enjoy mickey wore
Mickey Mantle wore it, ... I just enjoy it.
blows john starting starts team
That's the thing that blows me away, ... I'm 7 years old when this thing starts happening. John Smoltz is one of their starting pitchers. Now here I am, on the team myself, and John's still here. I told him that's when you start to think about retiring.

We knew we had clinched in the sixth. But we wanted to win. We wanted to earn it.

behind believe dugout nobody
When we got behind 8-0, nobody in the dugout could believe it.
front guys pitcher rather rookie
When you've got guys like Andruw (Jones), Chipper (Jones), Julio (Franco) and Marcus (Giles) in front of you, you have some RBI chances. A pitcher doesn't want to pitch to those guys. He'd rather pitch to a rookie any day.
guys knock people won
We've won 14 in a row, and people always want to knock you off. You use that as motivation. You don't want to be the guys who lose.
degrees patience pearl plate seem taught
If it weren't for Phillip Wellman I wouldn't be here right now. He's the one who got me going, taught me about patience at the plate and who showed me how to work. You'd go out there some afternoons in Pearl and it would seem like 180 degrees in that cage, but that's what it takes.
guy heck might sure swing thinking
He might think, What the heck did that guy just swing at? But he's not going to say it to you when you come back. I'm sure he's thinking it.
