afford guys lose
We can't afford to lose guys now for something stupid.
barrier baseball color deserve game guys played recognize
Baseballs haven't changed. They've been the same color for years and years. Now there is not really a color barrier in baseball the way there was back then. So let's recognize the guys that played the game the right way and deserve the recognition that they're getting.
anyone guys possible time
Anyone can write a check, but to actually go down there and give some time I think is more appreciated by the people. We are going to try and get as many guys as possible to go over.
dugout ground guys hits needed
I come in and get a ground ball, get a popup, get us back in the dugout and the big guys come through, ... It's the way it should be. We battled and got the hits when we needed them.
came games guys less pitchers starting sudden took until won
Guys got banged up, and all of a sudden the starting pitchers took off. We've won games 2-1. We've more or less said to the offense, 'We're going to pitch until we get healthy.' Meanwhile, every guy who came up has contributed.

bench game hit runner situation starts third throw until wait winning
Throw me out of the game right from the get-go. Don't wait until the other bench starts chirping. You have a situation where there's a runner on third with one out, I'm not going to hit anybody. I'm going to put the (potential) winning run on the bases?
everybody last memphis reach time year
We really didn't reach down to Memphis last year. This year we did. When the time comes to clinch, I think everybody will feel like they're part of it.
clubhouse confused kids
There's probably a lot of kids confused in that (Pirates') clubhouse right now because they don't know what's going on.
cardinals edge fans people seats waiting
A lot of people are on the edge of their seats waiting for this to happen, especially all the Cardinals fans here,
