best game played playing team
Obviously, it makes it a lot more interesting. You've got the best player, possibly, who's ever played this game back to a team that's been playing well.
buy couple extra love realize win
Obviously, I realize how important it is. I want to be out there. But it's still there. Hopefully, it will be better tomorrow. I'd love to have us win and buy me a couple of extra days.
goat home last obviously
Obviously (the home run) was the last thing on my mind. I went from goat to hero.
mr richard riding
Richard will be riding for Mr Pipe, that is correct.
brad chance dominated gets settled
We had Brad on the ropes, but he battled out there and competed. When you have a chance to put him away, you have to before he gets comfortable and settled in. He pretty much dominated once he got settled in.
ball contact felt rolling saw
When I got to first, I felt the ball in my chest. There must have been some kind of contact with Cruz's glove, then I saw the ball rolling away.
blood expected guys smell
When those guys have the lead, they smell blood. No one expected anything from us.
agent care far meet needs pilot report seeing taking
When I'm seeing a pilot, I'm taking care of the pilot -- but I'm doing it for the FAA, ... I'm an agent of the FAA, and that's who I report to, so it's far more important that I meet their needs than the patient's needs.
baseball definitely produce shows talked whatever
We've talked about having a swagger. But when you play .350 baseball, or whatever we played, you can't tell yourself to have that swagger. You have to go out there and produce to have it. When you show you can come back and get big hits, then it shows that it's possible. I think it definitely snowballs.
bunch guys pressures succumbed teams
I think most teams would have succumbed to the pressures and folded. We have a bunch of guys who are fighters.
lose
It could've been devastating for us to lose (yesterday's game),
character far last seem team weaknesses year
I think last year in the World Series, they did some things that were out of character for them, as far as executing. They didn't seem like the same team as this year. They're very relaxed. You just can't really see any weaknesses in that team.
bush definitely guys list top
Reggie Bush and the RBV All-Stars. Those guys definitely are at the top of my list for 2005.
games goal good guarantee record regardless single team win wins year
Regardless of what our record is, the goal is to make the playoffs. If you win 100 games and you don't get to the postseason, what good is it? I guarantee you every single team that wins more games than us this year would like to be in our position.
