We didn't capitalize. We've let opportunities slip away and we're running out of games.
games next series slip
We can't let these opportunities slip away. Before we know it, we're going to be out of games. This next series is huge. If we can take three, then we've got a shot.
everybody july numbers rest since wish won
I know everybody is going to write that I haven't won since July 22. I wish everybody would also look at the numbers and write the rest of the story.
pitch showing
I'm going into the offseason showing I can pitch and this is what you'll get from me. I'm making my statement.

If you pitch six or seven innings and give up two runs, you should win those games.

That's got to be tough to move to a new position, but those three plays he made in the fourth were pretty amazing.
barry bonds box difference fact obvious pitch respect seen steps swing though
It's obvious what kind of difference he can make. Even if he doesn't swing the bat, he steps in the batter's box and the pitcher's got to have 'What if?' in the back of his mind. ... You've got to respect the fact he's Barry Bonds even though he hasn't seen a pitch all year.

It's much more fun hitting them than giving them up. I don't think I've done that since Pony League back in the day.

It's not fun to give up a couple runs and lose. But we're still in it. Until we get in a plane and go home on the last day of the season, we're still in it.

You've still got to respect and fear Barry Bonds. He can do great things, even if he hasn't seen a live pitch.
era innings nice winter won
It was a nice way to end it. I got over 190 innings and got my ERA down. I've got some things to take into the winter and have a little firepower on my side. ... I told Felipe (Alou), 'This is my game, I want to go back out.' I hadn't won in a long time.
nice stretch work
It was nice to work out of the stretch and work on some things.
