I saw his postseason record was 1-5, and I was really surprised, ... I remember some of the games he pitched -- two hits, one run against Arizona a couple years ago. He's a big-game pitcher.
We'd obviously like to give up less runs, but I think in the long run it will be nice that everybody got in the game today,
Day to day with me is so real. One day is good, and one day is bad. I'm not too excited about one catch or one home run because I know tomorrow could be a bad day. I just want to stay on a level plane.
I'm happy (for) one thing: I won't have to worry about running into Reggie anymore.
Because he's a good player - he's got great defense, a good arm, runs the bases well and just plays it right.
I think when he came down I was still sliding and I caught his shin guard a little bit. It's not that big of a deal.
I think Brad, to me, is the best closer in the game. His stuff is way above average, and he's got a good idea what he's doing. He's still kind of new to the league, and guys really haven't gotten a feel for him. But I think even if you have a feel for him, you still don't have much of a chance.
Our fans are the biggest key for us, that's where we get our energy from. Really the ballpark is just secondary right now for us, it's the fans that make a difference.
Our fans are the biggest key for us. That's how we get our energy.
Roger pitched a Roger game. They got two great pitching performances and we haven't been able to score. But if we win tomorrow, we're even. There's a lot of games left to play.
Really, the ballpark is secondary for us. It's the fans that will hopefully put us over the top.
It eases the attitude of the team when you know the whole staff can grind out nine innings and they're going to give us a chance to win. It improves the attitude of our team and it improves the effort of our team.
It couldn't be that great; nobody wants to see this. It's all about the Red Sox and Yankees. Why don't they just show a replay of that?
I think, I've been trying to dictate where I want the ball to go.
