built couple four good pitching score weeks
I said a couple weeks ago that if we score four runs, we should win. That's the way we built our team. We have a good pitching staff. That's our game, pitching and defense.
attention deal enjoyed good road
We enjoyed it; we had a good time. But it's kind of like we had to give a little attention to everyone. Now we're on a road trip, and we don't have to deal with all this stuff. Hopefully, we'll play better.
gave good great hit home runs team three
We had great players, but we were not a great team (in 2004). We hit more home runs than anybody, but we gave up more home runs than anybody. We could not play defense, we could not pitch, we could not execute. You don't do those three things in baseball, good luck.
doors good jackie opened robinson
I think Jackie Robinson made us a lot of money. He opened doors for a lot of good things in baseball.
baseball believing doubting good happy people playing
I'm so happy for these kids. A lot of people started doubting us. Even we started doubting us. But then we started believing again, started playing good baseball again, and I like the way we're playing going into the playoffs.
buddies good happy
I'm happy for him. He's one of my buddies from the Marlins, and it's good to see him back.
clutch good last pitching
That's the way we play, good defense, good pitching and get clutch hitting. That's what we did last season.
ball garland good home pay run runs three threw
When you have opportunities and you don't take advantage, you're going to pay for it. I think it was a pretty good ballgame. Garland threw the ball pretty good, Cotts and Politte threw the ball real good. It was just a home run in that inning. Three home runs killed us.
base chance good joey lead secondary sent third throw took
We thought he had a good secondary lead so Joey (Cora, third base coach) took a chance and sent him. It took a good throw like that to get him.
came good
We came back and that's something I feel good about. We never give up.
built defense good pitching staff team
We built this team around defense and pitching. When you've got good defense, your pitching staff is going to be better because they're not going to make that many mistakes.
biggest built defense doubt good knew reasons team won year
We built this team around defense and pitching. I think our defense was one of the biggest reasons we won the World Series, no doubt about it. I knew we were going to play good defense all year long.
call condition good park wait
The park wasn't in good condition to play. To wait that long wasn't good. It was the right thing to call the game.
bullpen good great pitching series starting winning
We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.
