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.
four last situation straight task three tougher win year
Last year I think the situation we were in was a lot tougher task than the situation we're in right now, because we were down to three outs, and had to win four straight games,
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.
doubles following hit last mark normally year
I hit more doubles and triples last year than I normally do, and I had Mark Loretta following me in the lineup.
bad everybody guarantee happen last odds year
I guarantee we're going to be better than last year. Last year was a fluke. Everybody in the lineup had a bad year. What are the odds that's going to happen two years in a row? It won't happen.
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,
bring energy game
I wanted to bring energy out of the gate. After a game like yesterday, you don't want it to snowball. I think that was big for Jake.
We think nothing of having her in the dugout.
affects folks ground higher lose maybe means might moved people poorer
We're used to this. The people that it really affects the most are the poorer folks that maybe are renting and might not have the means and transportation to get their possessions moved to higher ground in time. They lose everything.
easily mud
We're used to this. After all, it's just mud and water, easily cleaned.
