It does show we're going back to normalcy when Met fans begin booing again.
I think he's a landslide winner. You're talking about a guy who plays Gold Glove defense, the best center fielder in the game, bar none. Everybody's just been waiting for him to turn the corner offensively, and now he's done that.
I thought it was awesome. I never played winter ball, never got to play in a Caribbean Series. The Mexican fans brought a lot of excitement to the game.
I thought he was nasty the second game that we played against him. Everybody was saying he looked like a different guy. But to be honest with you, he pitched well the first game against us. He just made the one bad pitch.
Maybe some people in here thought we were going to glide into the playoffs, but it ain't going to happen. There are too many good teams in the league. We let an opportunity slide in this homestand.
We needed to exorcise some demons from last night. It was a little worrisome what happened last night. But tonight, what more can you say? They did a great job.
Those are the things that MVPs are made of.
That was him being less stubborn and making some changes he needed to make at the plate.
We can bunt guys over. But we're built on power. That's American baseball.
We had our bags packed, ready to go back to Atlanta. And all of a sudden, the rug is pulled out from under you. It's unfortunate. You go out there, lay it on the line for six hours, and 18 innings. To go home for the winter on a game like that is a bad feeling.
I can't pick him up. He's the one guy. My nemesis.
From a team point of view, it wasn't a real good trip. But from an individual standpoint of getting to go out there and prove myself with some of the best players in the country and the world, it was very satisfying.
If a guy who has a personal interest in the Braves buys the team, he's more apt to take the money that he makes off the team and put it right back into the team ? such as Ted did. Time Warner didn't do that. Obviously, selling out to (Liberty Media), I don't see things being any different.
I don't care what you write about our playoff failures. We're just going to go out and play the game.
