bite blow came chances game open tonight tough
It was another tough one to lose. We had a lot of chances tonight to blow the game open but we never could get a big hit. It came back to bite us.
coming few hits maybe next
There was no way we could be that bad. Maybe we've got a few hits coming to us the next few days.
bit fill solid step
That's unfortunate, because he's a solid guy. Somebody's going to have to step it up a little bit and fill that role.
adrenaline kicking looks pitchers
I know right now the pitchers are fresh, but it looks like nerves. I think the adrenaline was kicking a little high.
cold definitely hitting hope
I hope so, because it won't be cold all year. We're definitely not hitting on all cylinders.
ball believe good home ryan throw took
I believe he thought Ryan was going to throw the ball to home plate. He took a pretty good hit.
good heavy
It's pretty heavy - that's a pretty big trophy. But it was a good feeling. I'd like to do it again.
came clutch couple hits kelly
Don Kelly came up with a couple clutch hits for us tonight.
bug flu locker worry
It's not so much one guy, but you got a flu bug like that, you worry about it going through the locker room.
club good guys last records strange throughout track trouble year
It's been strange to see a club have this much trouble throughout the lineup. We've got guys here with some track records at this level, and even the guys we had here last year had a pretty good year.
deal everybody
It's just something that everybody has to deal with.
foresee games offense
It's the first game, and there's a lot of games left. I don't foresee our offense being much of a problem.
guy key took
That's a key guy in our lineup, you need him and he took an 'ofer' in this series. If he doesn't go, then we don't go.
bad easier last level move time year
Every time you move up a level it's a jump, so I think they're going to be better this year than last year - not that they were bad last year. I just think everything will be easier for them this year.
