experience fun happen
It's not a fun experience. Hopefully, it doesn't happen again.
base bat behind drive everybody fortunate guys hitting pitches position runners scoring wants
Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.
errors leagues letting plays team tom tough
They were tough plays, but this is the big leagues and tough plays have to be made. I'm more disappointed in letting Tom down and letting the team down than I am making the errors for me personally.
good harder hit hope pitch tried
It was just a good pitch that I tried to do too much with and popped up. I would hope that more times than not, I would hit that pitch a lot harder than I did tonight.
chances game good
It's just that we did have our chances and it would have been a good game to win.
happens respectful
It's a respectful disagreement. It happens all the time. Am I disappointed? Not at all.
glad helped owe pick seemed
They seemed glad to see us. If we helped pick them up, that's great. We owe them a debt.
appreciation believe came city force full gave glad mike obviously passionate played sloppy
They're passionate about what they believe in. Obviously we played sloppy today, but I'm glad they gave the ovations. They came out in full force for Mike and I'm glad they showed the appreciation because he's done a lot of this city on and off the field.
almost city dallas either park portion strong suburbs university vibrant voice
Almost every portion of Dallas and the suburbs around us have a strong and vibrant neighborhood association presence. We didn't have a voice at City Hall, either with University Park or Dallas. But now we can.
month people start year
A lot of people have done it for a month or, in my case, a lot of people have done it for a year and a half. But when we start doing it year after year, then you have that argument.
ball batting bringing expect facing guys hours practice specialist took tough
It's tough without any at-bats to go up there and expect to see the ball well. You're cold, you took batting practice hours ago. Not only is there a lot of pressure, but you're usually facing one of the better guys out of the bullpen, a specialist they're bringing in.
next playoffs
The next thing I'd like to experience, ... is the playoffs in New York.
pet step
You don't want to step in gum. That's my pet peeve. That should go in the garbage, for sure.
pools
You don't see pools like that anymore. There's so many things to do in that park. Of course, they get there, and of course, they want to go swimming.
