good maybe opportunity people slide teams
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.
best country good individual players point prove standpoint team
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.
apt braves buys guy interest money personal selling team ted time
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.
beat forever hearing team
I have been hearing forever how this team or that team is going to beat us. No one's done it yet.
accomplish everybody home team
We don't want to go home and have everybody say that this team didn't accomplish what it should've accomplished.
anytime both chance darn guys players teams third three win won
Both teams had significant players out of the lineup. But anytime you've got the first three guys in your lineup out and win two out of three, with a chance to have won the third one, it's pretty darn good. We'll take it.
division games good losing playing teams
It stings a little bit. You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
aside egos game genuinely good grew happy playing pull teammates
There are a lot of egos in the clubhouse. For us to be successful, we have to put those egos aside and become good teammates and play the game the way we grew up playing it, pull for each other and genuinely be happy for each other.

You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
clubhouse expect favor field hoping teams walk win
If I were to look at it objectively, I'd probably favor other teams as well. But there's something about this clubhouse and this uniform. We walk out on the field and expect to win. I know other teams walk out on the field and they're hoping to win. And there's a big difference. We expect to win. It's not going to be any different this year. If we don't win this division, everyone in this clubhouse will be shocked.
expected last overlook six team
You can't overlook the accomplishments of this team over the last six months. No one expected us to be here.
feeling games obviously three
I've still got another 10 days. I'm not really concerned. If I get about three games out and I'm still feeling some pain, then obviously I'd be worried.
eighth fifth game guy guys hit ninth pinch pop seen
I've seen a guy who may or may not pinch hit in the eighth or ninth inning pop two before the game and another in the fifth inning. It's part of their pre-game ritual. Some guys have to have it.
behind forward game gold knew looking love medal roger second send
I've been looking forward to this from the second I knew he was going to play. Everyone in the game has wanted to play behind him at one point. We'd love to send Roger out with a gold medal around his neck.
