electric people wound
I just think it would be electric for the city. People are just so wound up.
counts fight people pitches strike taylor
Taylor pitched very well. He pitched all his pitches very well, right at the strike zone. He got fatigued at the end and still managed to fight back in counts and get people out.
board days everybody names numbers party people today
You want to get everybody in on the party and make everybody feel good. Today was one of those days when people other than our big names put some numbers on the board for us. You've got to have days like that.
good guys knew mind people thrown
Biggio made his mind up. He knew what he wanted to do. Most guys get thrown out if people make good throws, and they made two.
beat couple dominated few last people throws
He's dominated a few people the last couple of years. When he throws strikes, he's not going to get beat around too much.
awkward bit falling instead looks people
He's better than people want to give him credit. What comes into play is he looks a little bit awkward at times. When he stretches he looks like he's falling instead of in balance, but he makes the play.
appreciate good people recognize
I appreciate when people recognize that you're doing a good job,
although best both control downhill game gets great heat high hope looks people pitch seen sides
I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him. He has a great downhill tilt, he looks like when he gets his game together, he can control both sides of the plate. He's down in the zone. I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.
exactly mentioned names people
If you mentioned the names of Qualls and Wheeler and Springer, it doesn't exactly make people shudder, ... Most people don't know who they are.

barrier break fair far million nolan people players previous realize salary tough
And a lot of people didn't realize he was the first to break the $1 million barrier in salary with Nolan (in the previous contract), ... As far as the players were concerned, we thought he was fantastic. He was tough but he was always fair and this was a first-class organization when he was here.
barrier became bravado bright certainly couple crossed dollars forgotten guy hold line maybe million nolan pay people somebody somehow treated wanting
The interesting thing about him is that Dr. Mac, for all of the bravado about wanting to hold the line on dollars, became the first guy to pay a million dollars to somebody (Ryan). ... Fast-forward a couple of years, and people have somehow forgotten that this guy crossed a barrier that hadn't been crossed and treated Nolan great. I don't know all that went on between Nolan and Mac. OK, maybe it's probably not the bright spot, but it certainly shouldn't be how he's remembered.
pick scientific
Pick 'em out of a hat. We just need somebody. Nothing scientific in the formula.
stuck top
No, ... He snow-coned it. Stuck to the top of his glove.
