believes division everybody finish forward fourth hard last looking next picked win year
We were picked to finish fourth last year. Everybody in here believes we can compete. You can't win the division by looking forward to the end of the year or the next game. You just have to play hard and concentrate on each game.
attitude believe early helps learn mental mistakes side trying winning work
Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you make your own luck. You can learn from losing, as in what mistakes you made. I believe winning is an attitude. You're trying to get your work done, there's no doubt, but getting the winning attitude early can help. Winning helps the mental side of the game.
bring chase committed energy focus good great guys helping leadership means nice playoffs proven ryan series talent team veteran wait winning
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.
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.
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.

I've bounced around so much that it doesn't matter where I hit. I'm comfortable anywhere.

I've never had back-to-back plays like that. We had scouting reports, and both times they hit it the other way.

Probably not, but we'll take any bit we can.
everybody red
Everybody wanted to see it. I told the guys, I want a red one.
city mall people surprise turned
The Sox never did anything like this, going from city to city, mall to mall. It's been a surprise with all the people who have turned out.
leg lifted plate time using
(Cook) was using that (slide step) to the plate before that, so this time he lifted his leg and I thought that he was going to the plate.
game hits might per score string together
You have to string together hits. You can end up with 16 hits in a game, but if you get two per inning you might not score a run. It?s about stringing them together.
