appreciate dad good marine military son special took
Me being the son of a Marine for 30 years, it's an even more special day for myself. My dad will be here tonight. Unfortunately, it took Sept. 11 for a good part of Americans to appreciate what the military does for us. ... Tonight's a special evening.
good hard
I feel great. It was good for my alignment. It's hard to describe, but I feel good.
coming good series
We've got a good mind-set. We're relaxed. Coming into this series we were the underdogs. We've got nothing to lose, and I think that we'll go out and play like it.
good guys kinds offensive swing teams trying understand work
trying to get guys to understand that you have to work the count, you have to swing at strikes, do all those kinds of things good teams do on the offensive end. But they just haven't been able to do it.
both good hard hopefully time
Yeah, I think it could have been worse, without a doubt. After the MRIs, hopefully we're going to get good news. It's going to be hard to keep both of us out of the lineup. This time of year, it's hard to keep us out.
against bats good hits tonight tough
(Webb) is a very good pitcher, when his sinker is on, its tough to get consecutive hits against him, but tonight we put some good at bats against him.
difference division expect good people satisfied team winning
A real difference is, there were no expectations before, and now there are. People aren't just satisfied with their team winning a division championship. They expect the Padres and Chargers to do more. Personally, I think that's a good thing.
ball bunt chest good hard next pressure running wanting
I was just running as hard as I could, wanting to make them make a play, and the next thing you know, the ball was in my chest and my arms. I just wanted to make a good bunt and put some pressure on them. It was bang-bang, and fortunately it got by him.
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.
baseball expected far fare ourselves playing win worried
We expected to win this division, we said it from day one, and we want to go far in the playoffs. We're worried about ourselves playing better baseball because if we don't, we're not going to fare too well in the post-season.
biggest doubt team victory win
It would have been devastating, really. For us to find a way to come up with a team victory ... it's the biggest win of our year, no doubt about it.
affect begin cover early eye friday large outer reaches region saturday sometime system
Early Friday the outer reaches of the system will begin to affect Texas, with the eye making landfall sometime Saturday morning. Something this large is going to pretty much cover the whole coastal region of Texas.
below clubhouse expects forget guys nobody people record whatever
Even if it's below .500, and we get to the postseason, if we go out there and do something special, then I think people will forget about it, ... We've got nothing to lose. Whatever our record is, nobody expects much of us. As long as 25 guys in the clubhouse do, that's all that matters.
funding high school
I wanted to find something that was different and a lot of times overlooked, and that's high school kids. The funding often is not there,
