awesome both came games great pitch
Those kind of games come down to one big hit. Helling and Oswalt both pitched outstanding, and then Lidge came in and did an awesome job. Dana battled to get two outs and then got a pitch up to Bagwell and that was it. It was a great game.
coming
With an off day coming up Thursday, maybe.
benny
We're not going to do anything stupid. We want Benny for the long haul.

We're not going to pack up and die. Key injuries happen to every team. I hate it for Benny and the team, but you have to pick up the slack and go.

experience learn lessons means starting
We're starting to get there. They know that by no means we're not there yet. They've got a lot of lessons to learn and there's a lot of experience to be gained, but they like where we're at.

This was nothing new. He just continued what he's been doing all spring.

We had battled back for him and got him in a situation where the score was tied,
