cold dry hot last rainy swim wants
It was very dry and very hot (this summer). Last year, it was rainy and cold, and who wants to swim in the cold weather?
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.
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.
against braves last lost picked series stay win
We picked up the first win (of the last series against the Braves at Shea) and still lost the last two. We need to stay focused.
last team year
That's something we didn't do enough last year -- keep a team down.
answer couple drop followed growing last mets minor seems ways
It was a springboard. They just find ways to answer back and the way to do it big. I've kind of followed the Mets growing up and the last couple years in the minor leagues. He seems to always be the one to drop the hammer. He comes up big in the clutch. That's what makes him great.
balls confidence confident couple early errors felt half last second start thrown work
It's a confidence thing. The second half of last year, I felt more confident and I feel more comfortable this spring. That's the big thing for me. I can work on drills and footwork all day, but if I don't feel comfortable, it's not going to matter. As a young player, especially in New York, you make a couple of errors early and you start pressing a little bit. I've got to relax. I've thrown so many balls over to first base, I can probably do it blindfolded.
negative lasts finishing
Sure, finishing last has negative connotations. But finishing second-to-last or last is still losing.
best cares ethic funk game improve last maybe pressed tail trying works
He works his tail off. His work ethic is one of the best in the game and he's always trying to improve his game. He just cares so much and maybe that's why he got into a funk last year. He pressed so hard.
ahead fall group kids knowing lasting manage others time
Some kids manage to get through that experimentation with no lasting problems. But others don't, and there's no way of knowing ahead of time which group your kid will fall in.
batting great last moving people seventh ticked trusting willie
Look, I started off batting seventh last year, so to me it was great that Willie started trusting me, moving me up a little at a time. People tell me all the time, 'You should be ticked off where you're hitting.' But I'm not, not at all.
agent cliff free good hear last year
Cliff had a good year last year, and this is a free agent year. You won't hear that from him, though. He is so team-oriented.
consistent last level pleased three together toward year
I'm working toward a level of consistent production. I was pleased with last year but not satisfied. I will feel better if I can put two or three years together like it in a row.
last pressure puts reason struggling
He puts a lot of pressure on himself. I think that was part of the reason for him struggling last year.
