again against best capitalize colon league pitchers pitching
We did have some opportunities because of the errors. We did capitalize on one of them, but their pitching was just too good. Colon is one of the best pitchers in the league and he showed that again against us.
couple successful thinking
One thing that I've realized is that you're never going to be 100 percent successful. You're always going to be let down. When you have God in your life and you follow Christ, you're never going to be let down. Every time that you fail, He's there to pick you right back up. Every time you think the world's going to end because you had a couple of bad games, God's there to remind you that's not what it's all about.

forgive-me forgiving helping
Every time I pray, I ask for forgiveness. I'm a sinner. I sin every single day. But I do know that God loves me. I do know that God forgives me. It helps me in my every day life because there's nothing anyone can do to me that I can't forgive them for.

compared count game highs last team year
What I like about this year compared to last year is that I really haven't had a lot of fluctuation from big highs to big lows, ... When you do that, your team can count on you pretty much every game to make a contribution.
