air balls blowing confidence damage gives guess guys help luckily starting team wind
Luckily for us we just got more balls in the air than they did. These guys can do enough damage on their own but I guess if I can help out the cause, I'll keep doing it. If the wind is blowing out, we have a team that can put up some runs. That gives confidence to the starting pitching.
against door four funny guys last league neighbor next pitching played playing three
It's funny pitching against guys you played with the last three or four years. It's like playing against your next door neighbor in Little League or something. It makes you want to laugh.
bullpen fresh guys last obviously save similar streak trying year
It's fun. Last year I think we got on a streak very similar to this. Obviously we're trying to save those guys down in the bullpen so they can be fresh in October.
ball best couple glad guy last
That's the guy we want with the ball right now. Wake's been our best guy the last couple months. I'm glad he's on the hill.
anybody guys hit home league national realize runs traded
I didn't realize when I got traded over here that these guys scored more runs than anybody in the National League and hit more home runs than anybody. So, they put up some runs.
calm crunch games guys intensity knows overall
There can be. I think there's an overall calm here, these guys have been in these games before. Everyone knows it's crunch time. We'll come out with intensity I'm sure.
bit guys needed swing trying
I was trying to nibble a little bit because I didn't feel I needed to give in to these guys to get them to swing at something. That put me in a jam.
guys knows playing pressure wonderful
He knows when to put pressure on guys and when not to. It's wonderful playing under him. He never kills us in the paper.
business everybody expect good great guy handle low media mike outside type worry
I think he's the type of guy who's going to come in here and handle the pressure. He's pretty low key. He does his business and he doesn't worry about what's going on outside (with the media attention). I think he's going to play great defense, and I expect him to have a good year, where everybody will say this is the Mike Lowell that we know.
approach couple far felt few guys jason pitch pleased selection strong
I wasn't pleased with the results, but I felt strong in my first couple of innings. Working with Jason will take a few times to get on the same wavelength, as far as pitch selection and how I want to approach getting guys out.
blinds cia conspiracy guys house looking might shut strange theories
Manny is a strange guy. Outward, he's happy-go-lucky. On the inside, he's got a lot of conspiracy theories going on. Obviously, Manny might be one of those guys when he's 50 years old he might be in his house with all the blinds shut and looking out and the CIA is after him. You don't know, man. You don't know what's going on his head.
behind guys helps jason page plate thinking
Having Jason back there helps me out because we're thinking more on the same page than having other guys behind the plate that don't know your stuff.
across against close crowd few field front game guys hard last league neighbor pitching playing straight team
(Yesterday) was as close as I'm going to get to a regular-season game -- pitching against my old team and pitching in front of a crowd you like pitching in front of. It's just funny, man. You look across the field and see all the guys you've been playing with the last few years. It's like playing against your neighbor in Little League or something. It's hard to keep a straight face.
against games good knew last looks race season sure three tight time yankees
I'm sure everyone looks at the standings at one time or another. We knew the Yankees would be there from Day 1. We knew it would be a tight race and it will probably come down to the last three games of the season against these guys. They're two good teams.
