against dominant games guard shown
I don't think there's any doubt, he'll have to guard against a letdown. The games he's been dominant lately, he's shown a lot of emotion. That's when he's at his best.
announcing emotions fans managers mixed ride thank
It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement. Thank you to all of my teammates, coaches, managers and fans for making the ride so much fun.
ball dominating jumping slider velocity
The ball was jumping out of his hand. His velocity jumped up with it, his slider was tighter and he had a dominating performance.
became falling mike mindless saw slider thinking velocity
As Mike Mussina says, it became mindless for him. He wasn't thinking about his mechanics. Everything was just falling into place. I think that's why we saw the emotion, the intimidation. The velocity is up. His slider is nasty.
friendship
It's a story about friendship and making new friends.
boyhood career dreams fans league major managers red ride thank
I started my career with the Red Sox and proceeded to live out my boyhood dreams in Major League Baseball. Thank you to all of my teammates, coaches, managers and fans for making the ride so much fun.
blame good knowing maybe quickly randy stepped surprised threw truth umpire
You can place blame any where you want to. You can maybe say that Randy went a little too far. There's probably some truth to that, but I was surprised that Fieldin threw him out as quickly as he did knowing the kind of umpire that he is. He's a very good umpire. I don't know if Randy stepped over the line. I didn't necessarily think he did.
half struggling
The first half of the year, we didn't know who we were. We were struggling and we didn't know how it would end up.
night feelings soda
The day I got called up to the majors I wasn't feeling well. I had gone out with my friends for 'sodas' the night before.
dark people individuality
...Say somebody shot somebody....We...are so concerned about whether this evidence was admitted properly...(and) not recognize the intrusion into our sacred individuality that is being caused every time people turn on the faucet? ...I am astounded by how much untruth has been officially promulgated (pro fluoridation).
dark water age
...The evidence that fluoridation of the public water supply at the rate of one part per million is carcinogenic is irrefutable.
attitude vision looking-forward
We've been seeing some good things from Randy. We're starting to see that Randy Johnson attitude that we've been looking forward to seeing.
best last pitch threw
The last pitch is the best pitch he had to hit. It had plate. He just threw it by him.
calm forth legitimate quickly randy saying second
I was disappointed that Fieldin reacted as quickly as he did, but he has a legitimate gripe. Randy was saying some things in the first inning and by the second inning Cubby had enough. In the first inning they went back and forth and Fieldin told him, to his credit, that he's had enough and to calm it down.
