blame chooses game problem won
If he chooses to come back, I have no problem with that at all. You can't blame the manager. It was us. There were a lot of game we should have won this year.
execute head help nice straight team win
Just another game. I've got to go out there and help my team win the game. But it's nice to come home. I've got to just keep my head on straight and execute pitches, and that's my whole thing. Nothing else.
easier experience guess means situation success time
I think experience means a little something, ... I guess being there in (crunch) time makes it not easier, but it makes it easier to look back on something and say, 'Hey, I've had success in this situation before.'
against far few five guy pitching six
Pitching against a guy like (Zambrano), you can't give up five or six runs. You just can't do it. He's going to have a day every once in a while where he does, but they're going to be few and far between.
execute exterior prepared rocket science takes trying
I think I've always been prepared for this. I know what I have to do. You can't make rocket science out of it. You just have to execute pitches. Don't let exterior distractions in. It just takes away from what you're trying to do.
jack knee taken
Jack was right, ... He should have taken me over his knee and spanked me.
days felt focused found great
You know, I felt intense, I felt focused today. Days when you have great stuff, you probably shouldn't give up any runs, and I still found a way to give up two.
baseball beginning cake eat explain fun golf jokes next regular six spring training
Spring Training is just a fun time. I really don't know how to explain it. Everyone's got new jokes and everyone is having fun with each other. You get to have your cake and eat it, too. You get to have a life. During the regular season, you don't because it's all day long -- baseball is at the end of the day. But here it's at the beginning of the day and then, with me, I'm going to go out and play golf every day for the next six weeks.
difficult hard
That can become a distraction, ... If you don't get it out of the way, it's difficult to concentrate on what you need to concentrate on. I know it's been hard for him.
baseman hitting home
That was bull, hitting our first baseman after he hit a home run.
apart coming good guys hope start swallow team tear tough
That's the way we feel. We'll see how things play out. I hope they don't tear this team apart and we have to start all over. I know we have some good young guys coming up, but it would be tough for a lot of us to swallow if we have to start over.
everybody loss nice pitch runs score seen showing since worst
There are a lot of us that were on that 2003 team, so it's not like it's showing we know how to win. We've got to win games, we've got to score runs and we've got to pitch well. We need to get everybody back on track. It's nice to come back and score all these runs after the worst loss I've seen since I've been in Florida. It was nice.
needs team trying
We're trying to get to the playoffs. I know this team needs me. It needs all of us.
good main nice runs series won
We won the series - that's the main thing. It would have been nice to sweep. It's just one of those deals. You can't give up that many runs to that good of a pitcher.
