bats figure genius swinging team
I try to figure this team out, and if I could, I'd be a genius. We're all swinging the bats well at the same time, or we're all not swinging the bats well at the same time.
either figure genius guy matter stay swinging team time worst
If I could figure this team out, I would be a genius. We're all either swinging it well at the same time or we're all not. Hopefully, we'll stay like this for a while. It doesn't matter who is pitching. You could have Cy Young out there or the worst guy in the league, it doesn't matter.
caught everybody good knows team totally turned weird
I was totally caught off guard. I was very surprised. It's good. He knows everybody on team and everybody is comfortable with him. It's weird how it turned out, but I think everybody's happy. It's good to have Mach.
almost positive surprised
I was almost positive it would be a one-year deal, so I was a little surprised yesterday. I'm happy.
bat felt good head
It felt good to get the head of the bat on the ball. That whole inning was good.
amazing balls caught fly gets guys happen mark throws
He's amazing out there, and not just because he throws guys out. Before he got here, there were a lot of fly balls that, when they went over my head, I'd think they should be caught and they weren't. That doesn't happen anymore. Mark gets to everything .

I kind of knew that it would take a while at the beginning of the season because I hadn't played for a whole year, ... I was hoping things would progress and my arm would get stronger as the year went on, and everything I've expected to happen has happened so far.

If I could figure out this team, I'd be a genius. We're all either swinging the bat well at the same time, or not.
count crazy easier fought start worn
You don't want to count on that happening. We were pretty worn out. We fought like crazy just to try to get back. It's a lot easier if you don't start in a hole.

Being from Maine, which is a blue state, I think he understands ... trying to elect candidates that are more suited for a red state.

baseball fan follow frank good numbers presence
You look at Frank's numbers and he's amazing. He's already a presence around here. You couldn't be a baseball fan in the '90s and not follow Frank Thomas. He's as good as there was in the game.

This year, all I need to do is prepare for the season. I'm ready to play baseball.

With all we've been through this year, there's no way we're going to give up. Until they say we're done, we're going to keep coming out to try to make it interesting.
