air came pushed sucked
We pushed it a little, but then they came right back and it sucked the air out of us.
against guy losing streak whether winning
Whether you've got an eight-game winning streak or an eight-game losing streak going, when you go against a guy like him, you'll probably lose.
holes seems
We got back in the game, but it seems we never have enough. We have too many holes in the lineup to keep things going.
continue happened
Those are the kind of things we can't continue to do. There's a lot of things that happened that shouldn't have happened.
catch extremely good guys hot pitch reason
We didn't catch these guys at a real good time. You know what? We didn't pitch very well, and a big, big reason for that is they've got some guys who are extremely hot right now.
building chemistry group mainly simplify stay trying work
We're not trying to make a lot of changes. We're mainly trying to simplify things and work on building chemistry in the clubhouse. This group is pretty well low-maintenance. For the most part I've just been trying to stay out of the way.

We have a lot of decisions, which is good.

We had a lot of chances early against a good pitcher, but we just couldn't get anything done. That is the best I have seen (Jose) Contreras throw in quite a while.

game hard lurking
I would never say it can't get worse. This game is too hard to play. There's always something lurking around the corner.
biggest facing five guy mainly pitching runs tough
We just weren't able to do anything mainly because he was pitching so well. The biggest part of the day was the five runs early. When you're facing a guy like that, it's a tough situation.
apart solid
You know, we've been pretty solid defensively, ... It doesn't usually come apart like that.
We are just going through one of those spells.
