deserved florida game hold last league national olsen reading save team win
That's all you've been reading about: Florida is the last team in the National League without a one-run victory. The way Olsen threw, you wanted to save that game for him. He deserved it, to get a win out of it. Thankfully, we were able to come in and hold that lead.
afraid ahead bay biggest face game good guys lucky park played playing pull remember scrappy starting tampa teams tough
I think teams are starting to realize, if you guys are going to face Tampa Bay it's not that rollover game like it was in the first half, ... Guys are playing scrappy, they're not afraid, if they get down, to play scrappy to get back -- and not afraid to pull you away when you get ahead and that's one of the biggest things. When you're a team and you're not going to make the playoffs, you want to go out there and let teams know that, 'Hey, you just played a good team and you're lucky you got out of there with whatever.' You want them to remember that it wasn't just 'show up at the park and win.' You want them to know, 'Hey, we just had a very tough series.'

It shouldn't even have gotten to that, ... You go out there with the lead, you've got to come in and put guys away right away. That's a tough way to lose right there.

You don't know how bad I was hoping I got to pitch in this series. I spent five great years here. It's always fun to pitch against guys you've played with and you've known for that long.
came knew pay soon
As soon as it came out of my hand, I knew it didn't come out right. When you make a mistake, (the Yankees) are really going to make you pay for it.
bit compete considered guys hard likes mail mess nobody notion pride taking top
Nobody likes to be considered a rollover or a laughingstock. I think guys are taking pride in the notion we can play and compete with some of these teams, so why not? Why end and just mail in the season? Go as hard as you can and mess things up at the top of the standings a little bit while you're in the process.
