My truck is my personality. I'm an energy guy. I'm not much of an introvert.

Guys were trying to get the job done today. But it just didn't happen for us.
baseball football season stop watching
I stop watching baseball when football season starts,
caught safe
We caught a break. We'll take it any way we can get it. Personally, I like to think of it as retribution, 'cause I thought I was safe at home.
beat earlier games good played relaxed stuff three thrown
We played these three games the way we did earlier in the season. We had so much stuff thrown at us, but once we clinched, we relaxed and beat a very good team.
explain special
I was out of breath. You can't explain this. There was something special going on tonight.
alive born fans focus media nobody parents playing talk
We know the dates. But nobody here was alive in 1959. And most of our parents weren't even born in 1917. That's for the media and the fans to talk about. We have to focus on what we need to do, and you can tell by the way we're playing that we're doing that.
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.
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.
accustomed playing somebody
We're playing upside-down baseball. But that's been our story. There's always somebody doing something he's not accustomed to doing.
balls bats break caught good guys hit swung today
We swung the bats much better today than what we showed. We hit a lot of balls at guys that made some good plays. We caught break on the ball Jermaine hit.
associated cares close everybody guys pulled special team teams truly year
That was the special thing about this team: We were a club. The 25 guys we had on this team were as close as any team I have ever been a part of or associated with. Everybody truly cares and pulled for each other all year long. It's something that's very rare; you don't find it very often. And those teams that do have that are special.
