carry deep enjoy good great ridiculous roll spot start
It's ridiculous to say that we don't enjoy it. It's a great start for us. With young clubs, you get off to a good start and you can carry this roll deep into the season. It's a good spot to be in.
addition afraid great jeff second solid
Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base.
bad changing everybody great guy instead manager people treating treats worry
He just treats people like people instead of treating them like players. If a guy has a bad day, he doesn't treat them any differently than if they had a great day, and that makes everybody feel comfortable. They can all go out and play, and not worry about their manager changing his disposition every day.

He (Sheets) was lights out. Both pitchers threw phenomenally well tonight. They both had great stuff and were hitting their spots. Benny was about as good as Benny could be.

He's been steady ever since we started. He was good the first day we went out, and he's been good ever since. Great addition.

I put him up there with the intent of him winning the game. You know, he's had such a great spring for us, he's such a veteran-type player who really is comfortable in those situations.

I'm glad we were able to score some runs so he could benefit from his great pitching.

Dave Bush really shut down a real talented offensive team. He did a great job, really picked us up. That's two consecutive good starts, so it rested our bullpen and gave us a break that we needed down there, too.
