That bothers me, but I don't think about it. We go there every year. If every time you walk in, that's what comes to mind, that's too many sad times.
That ball about took his hand off. It was hit hard, but it was a play he's made before.
My only concern was that he'd alienate himself from the rest of the club but I didn't see that happen.
Matsui, to me not playing, leaves a void in our lineup. When you play every day you get worn down and have to fight your way through things.
That was hugely important. We have no days off the rest of the way. Fortunately, we were able to get Randy a big lead so he didn't have to work through another tough game.
That was ugly. We just gave too much away. It's one thing to have a team beat you, but it's another to help them.

The fact that he's been here this long is pretty incredible.
