We had some pretty good at-bats off Carpenter. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.
This one has to rank up there as maybe the best, coming from a long way back. That just tells a lot about the guys in this clubhouse.
I don't care, who cares? You're up 3-1. Obviously, the old cliche, you keep getting guys out there, and sooner or later you're going to get some base hits. The biggest thing is we're up 3-1 right now. You don't care what you're average is with runners in scoring position.
Maybe he read the article where I said that's never happened to me before, ... I mean, I've had some that were questionable - but, come on. I'm sitting on the bench all day, the guy throws a slider at you and it hits you in the middle of the batter's box. That was only my second ejection. I guess I'm a big troublemaker.
Some guy in the crowd was trying to be funny and he slapped her upside the head, acting like a 12-year-old, and he ran, ... It was his misfortune that he messed with a Jersey girl. She chased him down and caught him.
I think those guys aren't so young anymore,
Here you go, son, here's a jersey from the guy who just homered off your dad.
There are certain guys who get good jumps on balls, and there are other guys who see the bat head coming through and they know where the ball's going. That's Adam. You just take it for granted.
Was it worth the wait or what? Forty-four years is a long time everybody, but I tell you what -- it's all worth it. It's bittersweet right now. It feels great. We love you guys very much. It's an unbelievable feeling right now for everybody in that clubhouse and you guys should enjoy it just as much as we are.
It was one guy who acted like a 12-year-old, who slapped her upside the head. I'm not going to sit here and hold all the Chicago fans accountable for this for one guy who was acting like an idiot.
It's the only way we know how to do it. We can win 10-9 or 2-1. It's just something that over the last three or four years, we have no idea on how to blow another team out. I think a lot of guys in here are used to the tough games.
It's a lot of years. Not many guys get the opportunity to play their whole career with one organization, and I'm very happy.
About 99.9 percent of the time he comes in, and it's game over. He's nasty, he's got good stuff. He's still got it. You tip your hat to any guy that can square up and catch up to it.
They got some guys on and we had one bad play. But, once again, they've got a good team over there, and for us to come out here and take two out of three, we'll take it.
