club equally gone hope longest quite seen team
I've never had a team in (a funk) like this for this long. It's gone on quite a while, the longest I've seen a club go through. The only thing you can hope is when we come out of it, it's for equally as long.

I think Mike's got something to prove. Obviously in New York they tried to make him do the transition to first. He could've signed with an American League team and been a (designated hitter). It certainly would've been a lot easier. But he likes to be involved with the game, he likes catching. He has a passion for it.

He's as good as anybody. We aren't the first team he has shut out this year.
closing fair job teams widening wins
I'll be honest, it's fair to say we're disappointed we haven't done a better job of getting more wins and widening the gap, ... It is what it is. I think some other teams are disappointed they haven't done a better job closing the gap.
ball granted took
took for granted that the ball went out and he tossed it into the stands. He thought it was out. That's why he did what he did.

We'll try to approach him the same way we have in the past and that's to make quality pitches and hopefully not make a mistake.
