To beat a pitcher the caliber of Tim Hudson is a big boost for us. This is what good teams do.

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.

We're going against three of the best pitchers in the National League, and if you look one minute past today, you're going to be in trouble. If you start looking down the road, you're going to get sideswiped.

ball bat catch field guys pitchers reason swing throw win
There's a reason why guys win 300 games. They can field their position, they can swing the bat and they can throw strikes. That's a big part of his game. There's not a lot of pitchers that catch that ball. That ball was smashed. That was a big play.
against best compete count finds five great pitcher roger runs scoring stuff time ways
You don't really count on scoring five runs against Roger Clemens. He didn't have great stuff but the thing about that kind of pitcher is that he finds ways to compete even when he doesn't have his best stuff. Any time you beat, you've done something.

I think Brady will work out whatever is going on with him. I'm just trying to get some consistency in our offense.

I think Billy can play, quite honestly, every day at second, probably every day at short, every day at third, or every day in the outfield. He could be adequate at all those spots.

I think there will be a lot of excitement in spring training next year.

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.
benny bit davis good starter
I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
