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 was a slider that did not slide. It stayed right there on the inner half. A nice pitch to hit.

Nobody likes to be considered a rollover or a laughingstock,
everybody gets guys pay seems start team thrive type
They're the type of team that when they start getting guys on, it just gets everybody going. That's when you really have to make your pitches. Because it seems they thrive on if you make a mistake, they make you pay for it.
alex bad base gets good hey hit leading mistakes money paid pitch rodriguez seems throw
What's frustrating is that is just seems like it's one little thing that's leading to it. Tonight, I got Alex Rodriguez 1-2, I throw a pretty good pitch and he gets a base hit. One bad pitch in the outing, hey ... Giambi's getting paid a lot of money to hit those balls. You can't make mistakes in that situation.
call happened hear maybe might reason somebody stuff time trying worse
You hear stuff all the time out there, ... I'm not going to use that as an excuse. You hear worse things than maybe somebody trying to call time. It might not help, but it's not the reason why everything happened the way it did.
