good hopefully shows
I feel really good right now. It's the healthiest I've been in a long time. Hopefully it shows out there,
cities definitely forward looking parks
Obviously, it's time. You see what the other new parks have done for the cities involved. It's definitely something we're looking forward to.
believe slight
Right now I believe there's just, on the L-5 disc, a slight tear, real tiny,
heels throw works
The way he works is phenomenal. Between him, (Mark) Mulder and (Matt) Morris, they get up there and throw it and it shows. We're not on our heels ever.
bones broken core effective mess pain played shocks today
I've played through a lot of pain, broken bones and things like that. But this is something that's centered. When you mess with your core and your back, I don't know how effective I would be out there today or yesterday. The pain there just kind of shocks your whole body.
cases percent stick time
adjustments to be made during the game, but in most cases (the Duncan-based positioning) is where we stick to it and probably 75 percent to 80 percent of the time it usually works.
arm good people somebody sure waiting
A lot of people were waiting for us to fail. That's all you heard: his arm and my injuries. I think we've done a pretty good job. But I'm sure there's still somebody out there who would disagree.
winning
There's a lot more to it than just winning the division.
looks strives team
This is a team that strives to do the little things. When we do it out there, like we did tonight, it just looks so good.
body core days effective few last mess pain shocks today yesterday
This is something where you mess with the core of your (body), your back, it's tough. I don't know how effective I would be out there today or yesterday because the pain there just shocks your whole body. I've never had something like that before. The last few days it's been constant.
best fans forced teams watch
Now fans are going to be forced to watch the best teams in the game.
beat game hard jump kept mistakes teams
That's how we try to play. We try not to make mistakes. If you're going to beat us, you're going to have to hit. But when you jump out on teams like that, it's tough. We've all been there, but that's hard to come back from. We jumped out on them in Game 1, and just kind of kept it going.
believe reason
We know we're here for a reason, ... and they believe in us.
best control definitely gets lacking potential prior
If there's anything lacking now, it's the control Prior has on his off-speed pitches. Once he gets there, he can be one of the best pitchers. He has a lot to learn, but the potential is most definitely there.
