close great performance pitching played season seems smell time today weird win
It seems that every win at this time of the season is big. When you're getting close to the end, you can kind of smell it. Today we played kind of weird baseball, but we got a great pitching performance from Pedro. And in a one-run game, anything can happen.

I want to be out there every day. You can count on one hand how many times you're 100 percent when you're playing every day. I'll take my time off when we accomplish what we want to accomplish.

It's a new season. You've seen a lot of wild-card teams get to the World Series -- and win it. . . . I'll take our chances with our team here.

It says a lot about him. This year hasn't worked out for Sean the way he wanted it to, but he's not going to give in. He came out and prepared himself. Depending on how it pans out, it might be the biggest win so far.

We knew what Jake was going through even before he took the hill for us,

The replays showed it was close to being a homer and I just dropped it.
control excited games grind weeks
This is what you play for, to get to the postseason. If you can't get excited with 14 games to go and a 5 1/2-game lead, you've got problems. We've got two weeks left. We've got to grind it out. We control our destiny.
