I don't know what it was. I couldn't see the damn thing. He had us all talking to ourselves, and nothing that was said was helpful.
No. I haven't heard anything. There's so much positive talk going around ... I've heard about zero talk.
Well, if it was in November, they'd be talking about why wasn't it in March? And if it was in July, they would say why isn't it in November? So I don't think any timing is perfect.
It's frustrating because you see how devastating he can be. You talk to guys on other teams and they marvel at how good his stuff is. When he puts it together, he's going to be a force for us.
The urgency is at an all-time high, because of all the talk about ages and contracts.
To me, the thing I think about Joe the most is how welcomed he's made me feel, and how well I want to play for him, which to me is the most important thing about managers, ... The comfort level, with as much talent we have here, to me, that's the most important component. It's not really X's and O's. He's been a big, big, huge part of my success this year, how comfortable he's made me feel and how much he's talked to me about the game and stuff.
I think it was the last one he threw. I'm glad he threw one. He had us talking to each other, and really nothing was said that was helpful.
Today it did everything. It went up, it went down, it went left, it went right. He had us talking to each other.
His ball was cutting, sinking, going up and down. He had it all working today. Usually, I see him pretty good, but he had us all talking to each other.
I don't want to talk about it, so many good things happened tonight. It feels like I got stung pretty good.
We've been swinging the bats progressively better the last three days. We have to work on being more consistent.
We were like desperate animals trying to survive, and animals are most dangerous when they are in a snare.
We win and lose as a team ... I'm as proud of these guys ... We left our guts on the field.
I've never seen Matsui ever make a mistake. That's the weirdest thing.
