allowed coming contract definitely foresee good handle offers ourselves players respect themselves
I know contract offers were exchanged, and they probably couldn't foresee themselves coming to terms. I think he definitely had a respect for the players and allowed us to handle ourselves as professionals. He was just a good guy.

I'm not the one who writes the lineup.
answered came flat foot game half kept neck team
How can a team be flat when you know what you have on the line? We know what this game means. We know what every game means. We're not going to come out flat on Sept. 21 when we're a game and a half out. They came out, they jumped on us, they never let us up. We scored three. They answered back. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe. That's what the game was today.
everybody goes rely remain themselves
For the most part, everybody goes about their business. Everybody handles themselves in a professional manner. All we have to do is go out and play. You don't have to rely on someone else's opinion. It's always different in different clubhouses. We just want to remain consistent.

It was just a 24-hour flu thing. I was pretty sick on Sunday.
ahead angels four games hopefully last nine overcame reverse road role sweep three
It's a long road ahead of us. We know we have to sweep them to get back into this thing, ... We have four games to get it done. We were in the reverse role last year. We were up three with nine games to play and the Angels overcame that and went to the playoffs. Hopefully we can do the same.

It's kind of neat. It's great to see the program produce so many major league players. It's a credit to the school.

The is the first day I've been able to walk around and get up out of a chair.
expect great hit shoulder
It hit my tip. I couldn't get it into the web. It was a little more over my right shoulder than I anticipated. It would have been a great play to make. It wasn't necessarily one that I expect to make.
everybody fun liked seemed team
It seemed like everybody on that team liked each other, and when you like each other, you're usually having fun. And if you're having fun with each other, you're probably going to play a little better baseball, so I think the two go hand-in-hand.
errors field game last throwing time
The field is fast, ... Last time I made two errors in a game were throwing errors. I usually don't look that bad.
fingers knows last nobody pointing
Everyone in here knows what we went through as a team. Nobody was pointing fingers last year, and nobody's pointing fingers this year.

He's definitely into the game. He's very intense. Both of those guys are. I guess something was said, and Jason kind of snapped.

We saw that a lot from Joe last year -- he matched up in some big spots and came through for us. He knew he had his challenge tonight.
