admired excited help playing
I've always admired the way he plays. He'll help us defensively and give us some right-handed power. I'm excited about playing with Mike.
hit lives playing pressure
We've put pressure on that team, we just haven't come up with the big hit yet. We're playing for our lives now.
accomplish count hand percent playing time
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.
playing works
We're just playing better right now. When things are going well, that's how it works out, most of the time.
baseball
(The sweep) was disappointing, but only because we know we can play better baseball than that.
amazes makeup says
The thing that amazes me most is he's only 24 years old. You don't have that makeup too often at that young an age. For him to go out and do what he did says a lot about him.
along approach best chances team
You get to the postseason, and it's a new season. That's how we're going to approach it. We thought all along that we've been the best team in the West. We'll take our chances come Oct. 4.

dream expect goal lead lose main obviously offense pieces shown stuff team
You dream of this stuff as a kid. Obviously this is one step. Our goal is to be world champions, and we expect nothing less. We're going to go out there and battle. I think one thing this team has shown is it has a lot of character. You don't lose main pieces to your offense and still have a four-, five-, six-game lead pretty much the whole year.
against good opens pressure record whoever
Whoever opens up against us, if we get there, is going to have a lot of pressure on them because our record is not going to be as good as some of the other records.
barry competition definitely feed knock
When the competition is great, you kind of feed off that. Definitely with Barry and Moises (Alou) and the professionals they have, you have to get up for them. If not, they're going to knock you around the park.
morning stiff woke
I woke up this morning and I wasn't as stiff as I thought I was going to be. That's when I decided, 'Hey, shoot, let's see if we can't get in there tonight.
curious defense full gotten hands healthy hitter numbers season throw
We haven't gotten to see a full season from Khalil Greene. I'm curious to see what kind of numbers he would throw up if he is healthy for a full season. He's got some of the quickest hands you'll see as a hitter and on defense he has some of the softest hands.
pressure three
We've got to put pressure on them, ... They're still three down. I like our chances.
