colors easy entire everybody season stuck team together true winning
This whole team through the entire season has been nothing but a cohesive unit. It's easy to say that when you're winning like we were in the first half. But I think the true colors show when you're scuffling a little bit. Everybody stuck together same as we did when we were winning.

might score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits, and get two an inning, and you might not score a run. It's about stringing them together. It's one of those where sometimes it clicks, and sometimes it doesn't.

He's definitely a leader on this team. He's been here, probably outside of Frank, the longest on this team. He knows this organization and most of us have played together for quite some time. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.
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.
eight hits score string together
You've got to string hits together at the right time. You could get 16 hits, two hits in eight innings, and not score any runs. It's about getting hits at the right time.

We had 25 guys pulling for the same goal, and we didn't stop until we got there. We had a great thing happen to us. Here I feel we have a group of guys who want to play the game the right way, hard. I'm happy to be here.

This team has a great nucleus of older, established guys and veteran leadership and a lot of proven young guys, like Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. They bring energy to the game. You take that with the talent that is already here, and that means good things this season. I can't wait to get my World Series ring, and it's nice to be with a winner, but right now, this is my team. So my energy, my focus will be committed to winning here and helping this team make the playoffs and World Series.
against base bat behind elbow ground hit playing running step
You hit a ground ball, he'll step on your bat running down first base behind you. He'll give you an elbow at first base. He's just like that. Playing against him, you don't like it too much, but when he's on your team, that's a completely different picture.
ball capable hard hit impress instead regardless square tendency trying
You have a tendency to try to want to impress regardless of what you've done in the past. It's just competitive nature. I really think I've been trying to hit the ball too hard instead of just doing what I know I'm capable of doing and trying to square the ball up.
everybody red
Everybody wanted to see it. I told the guys, I want a red one.
