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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
