biggest goal playing
We have all the right tools, all the right pieces. Now, the biggest goal is to get that chemistry, that cohesiveness, that we are playing for one another.
giant pieces saying series small step steps
We have all the right pieces to make the puzzle. I'm not saying it's World Series or bust. The first step is for us to become a playoff-caliber team. We have to take small steps before we can make a giant leap.
beat carry certainly shoulders team
He's a game-changer. He can beat you so many different ways. He can certainly put a team on his shoulders and carry it.
balls hard hit
I don't think we're in a slump. We hit some balls hard tonight, but just right at someone. We're not concerned.
great offense run
I don't think it's so much our offense as we've run into great pitchers,
hit supposed
I don't think Pedro hit him intentionally. But if he did or didn't, we're his teammates, and we have his back. That's the way it's supposed to be.
bet except figure last numbers year
I bet you anything we're back around that 21,000 figure this year. Our numbers will be where they've always been except for last year. Last year was nothing but the weather.
guess
I guess I'm just different. To me, it's the same.
country music rap
I have everything in my iPod, from rap to country to R&B to alternative to Sinatra.
confidence games guys hits hopefully hurts obviously three throwing
Obviously it hurts us not having our big guys in there. Hopefully we get them back soon. But we have a lot of confidence in the guys we're throwing out there. If we hit, we're going to win. We're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.
games guys hits hurts obviously three win
Obviously it hurts not having our big guys out there. But we're not going to win too many games getting three hits and one run.
football good horrible last season sitting year
Last year we started off pretty horrible and this year we're off to a good start. If this was a football season we'd be sitting pretty right now, but in baseball, we have a long way to go.
special talent year
No one's going to be selfish. Not this year. We can have a special year with all the talent we have here.
battle cal favorite growing guy hurt loved played player
My favorite player growing up was Cal Ripken Jr.. To play that many consecutive games, he played hurt a lot. I loved that about him. That's the kind of guy I want on my team. That's the kind of guy I want to go to battle with.
