face hit pole run trying
You're going to end up on your face before you hit the pole trying to get up the hill. If you hit it, you hit it, so what? I've run into a lot more things.
against liked nobody played playing questions team time
There were a lot of questions about him. We played against him all the time when he was with Minnesota. Playing against him, you don't like him too much. Nobody on this team liked him too much when he was on Minnesota.
biggest
This is the biggest one they make, too. I fouled a changeup off the pad, and then a curveball catches me on the shin.
ugly win
No win is an ugly win, because, at the end of the year, that's one more win you wouldn't have had. And they're all beautiful.

No win is an ugly win. At the end of the year, they all look beautiful.
finally head hits playing sleeping trouble
After playing 14 innings, when my head finally hits that pillow, I don't think I'm going to have any trouble sleeping tonight.
advantage angels earned sure tougher yankees
I think we've earned what we got. To take away that advantage wouldn't be fair. If it was the other way around, I'm sure the Yankees or the Angels would feel the same way we do. It's just part of the road, you have to take to get where you have to go. Sometimes it's a little tougher for some than for others.
ability chemistry everybody pull rope team worry
I think there's not enough made about the chemistry of a team and the ability of everybody to pull on the same end of the rope and worry about what matters, and that's wins.
approach extra fun great jimmy pressure putting seems
Jimmy just seems to have a way of not putting extra pressure on himself. He's having fun, and that's a great way to approach the streak.
believe chances critics deal division fourth guys last people picked success ultimately
I think everyone picked us fourth in our division last season. You're going to deal with critics and people who have their own opinions, but ultimately it's about the 25 guys in the clubhouse. If we believe we can go out there and win, our chances of going out and having success go way up.
builds came confidence definitely group guys next ourselves situations time
I think it builds confidence to know you can came back in situations like this. Next time we find ourselves in that situation, we know we can do it. We definitely have a group of guys who like being around each other. And I think something like this makes us even closer.
dugout everybody
It all started the first inning when he got on base. Everybody in the dugout was like, 'All right, it's show time,'
love tasty
It got me right in the tasty cakes. There's a lot of love there.
attention ball came flew great pay trying
I was just trying to pay attention to the way the ball flew and the way it came off the bat. It's a great ballpark. Beautiful.
