Even after losing two of three to Tampa, I still thought we were in great position.
This is the kind of game that can get you pretty high for tomorrow or else be tough to come back from.
You stop and look where we were Tuesday, finishing with six games at home and playing the way we were playing, it was a great position to be in.
Coming into this last week, I thought we had it nailed down, especially with the way we were playing,
We played lights out all of September. I don't know what happened this last week.
I guess we need to throw another quarter into the merry-go-round.
I just made a little mechanical adjustment. I'm getting ready for the pitch a little earlier. That way, I see the ball better. It's something I do all the time, but if I don't, I rush my swing.
I really didn't feel like I was able to get any good swings off Garland all night, just had trouble getting anything timed. I was just able to get a pitch and stay inside of it.
I don't know if they really knew me, but the guy who was taking us around, said, 'This guy plays baseball for Cleveland. They thought that was pretty cool.
I don't know if you ever get over it. We were really close and weren't able to finish it off.
I didn't know what he (Sizemore) was trying to do. I thought he had to go to the bathroom or something. I guess he didn't have any confidence in me (to bring him home).
It's tough to tell with baseball. We've been playing pretty well and hopefully we can continue to win games. Hopefully, that series at the end of the year means something, it would be pretty exciting.
It was frustrating. I kept waiting for the next day to feel better. After about 10 days, and I wasn't getting better, I started to get concerned. I finally got to the point where I knew it was going to take some time.
It's the part of baseball that (stinks). You can form some great friendships with teammates, and in an instant, they're gone.
