You try to take it game-to-game and keep working.
I've said this before, but going and playing with the guys that have been to the World Series, the elite players of the game, there's no harm in hanging around those guys at all.
I've always been taught to play the game hard. Baseball is such a tough game, it really humbles you at times, you just have to try not to get too high or too low.
Any loss like that is devastating. Especially with five games to go.
Especially being in the middle of the lineup with Ryan behind me, if I get on base, that could be an easy two runs right there. We can definitely hit home runs, but you have to win games in other ways, too.
This, ... shows the fire of this team.
We knew Houston had lost today. We wanted to get it, and somehow we did.
We were down in the game by a lot, but we still had that fire. We were rooting for him big time.
I guess it's all downhill from here, right?
Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.
When you bust it down the line and don't get the hit, it's depressing.
It doesn't matter what happened in the past. It's all about the next three days.
I'm hearing it from all the guys. I expect to. I deserve it. I would give myself grief. If someone else did that, I'd tell them about it.
Going around third base, I definitely slowed down a little bit, ... But it was still pretty exciting.
