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.
bottom came chase coach fire guys half lights lost marc nice surprised thrown
I'm surprised more guys didn't get thrown out by what was going on in the dugout. I thought we lost (first-base coach Marc Bombard), Chase and Charlie. I told (Howard) half our roster is gone. Sometimes that lights a fire under your (butt). It's nice that we came out and got the win, bottom line.
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.

All the guys who were booing him when he came to the plate were cheering for him when the ball went over the fence. It was nice to see us pull together and get a win.

Watch Jason Johnson . That's the guy who really impressed us last season. He's going to be a real good one, real good.
base causes gets huge problems steals
When he gets on, he causes problems for the defense, steals a base here and there. It's huge for us.
attention chips choke everybody knew nobody paid playing stuck talk team together
Through all of the choke talk and everything else that was said, this team really stuck together when the chips were down and we weren't playing as well together as we knew we could. Everybody stuck together and nobody paid attention to that and we were all a unit, and it paid off in the end.
along brings face frank good guys job
Right now, with Frank being out, he's probably the face of this organization. He does a good job with it and brings guys along for the ride.
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.

I stop watching baseball when football season starts,
energy truck
My truck is my personality. I'm an energy guy. I'm not much of an introvert.
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.
explain special
I was out of breath. You can't explain this. There was something special going on tonight.

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.
