One thing I'll say here. I'm not going to waste my time talking about negative things. We won a ballgame 9-8. I'm not here to start beating on people, especially the people that, if we expect to win, are going to get us there.
You can't expect to win when you give them extra outs. You hope when you make errors they won't come up and bite you.
I didn't know what to expect going in. But nothing gets by these fans. Bernie didn't know whether to take a bow (in the eighth inning). He looked over at me and I gave him a nod.

I didn't say we had to stop there,
My only concern was that he'd alienate himself from the rest of the club but I didn't see that happen.
They are a thunder. They can put winning streaks together before you blink your eye.
