hope plugging
It's a big blow, so we have to keep plugging and hope we can play better and better.
adjust bad feeling hanging happened head month months move obviously people playing six taking work
It's obviously not a place we wanted to be. For a lot of reasons, it didn't work out the way any of us wanted. You just have to adjust and move on. There is no sense taking the month of September, hanging our head and feeling bad about what happened the six months before. We're going to try to get some people more playing time.

act believer best felt guy job knowing makeup ninth smart stuff

I'm not going to act like I was that smart that he'd do the job the way he's done. I thought internally, he's the best candidate. I'm a big believer that the ninth inning is done as much on makeup as stuff.
good
I think we all feel that Cedeno's going to be a real good player,
I think it's just part of the thing,
I think that's what we all want him to do, I think that's what he would like to do.
