Don't call the world dirty because you forgot to clean your glasses.
We had a great game offensively. Every one contributed and elevated their game to replace Brad.
This team's always been good at even if we don't win battling back and not giving away at-bats. We kept in there and ended up on top.
We were down by four at the half. But we had a good third quarter. Troy had 14 points in the second half and that really jump started us. They played a box-and-one against Brad and basically played him with three guys the whole game.
It's the first time we've had four players in double figures all year. As the year is going on, we're really spreading around the scoring a lot more than we did last year ? we're not so one-dimensional. Brad is still dominating, but if he's in foul trouble we can still pull games out.
It's pretty comfortable, actually. I'll give it a try.
It was a great game for our low-post players. They were just dynamite.
It's so much easier having Butter (Butterfield) as an infield coach. Just watching Orlando play, you can't help but learn a lot. I adjusted well to third this year, and working hard really helps everything along. If I do that (with second base), it will feel like home.
Everyone on the team scored. We had four guys in double-digits.
Every night he's seen double- and triple-teams, but I would say tonight might have been the best defense he's seen. They mixed it up a little bit so it wasn't the same all the time. They did an excellent job preparing.
It's going to be easy to work hard with him because he keeps it fun but he also knows your game so much. Honestly, it's a pleasure getting out there with him because I learn so much when I'm spending time with him.
It's fun to make it interesting for the Red Sox-Yankees pennant race. We're a big team this week.
It's a big opportunity we have together. He was drafted first, and I was drafted the year after. We talk about last year, and we're learning as we go. Every day, we're out here picking each other's brain and learning about certain types of feeds that I like and ones he likes. At the same time, we're good friends.
It was funny. They went all out on this thing. We walked in and it was typical, just like a wedding would be. They did it right, they sure did. We had to cut the cake. They did a good job.
