Everyone here has been fighting for a while. We've been playing well for a couple of months. Hopefully we'll go out there tomorrow night and play good.
Everyone here has been fighting for a while,
Everybody's talking about our offense, but it doesn't win games. It's pitching and defense. If I don't make that mistake, Wang would have kept rolling.
They just pitched well, top to bottom. We didn't see any of them more than once tonight, and they all pitched well against us.
It's a two-way street. If a guy hasn't been seen before, it can be an advantage for you.
I took my eye off it a little too soon, but I've got to make that play. Everyone is talking about our offense, but it doesn't win games. It's pitching and defense. We're not always going to hit.
It wasn't like, 'I'm going to do this to you. I'm going to do that to you'. It was just a stupid letter. I've gotten stupid letters before. That's basically it. Now, for some reason, it's on the front page and it's some big, huge story.
It's an honor to represent Team USA in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. I'm excited to promote international baseball and it's terrific that gamers who pick up Major League Baseball 2K6 will be able to experience the same excitement of the World Baseball Classic.
It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been over the years.
It's not much of an issue, ... are going through the same thing. It's not like they're taking the Concorde out there.
It's not that hard to figure out. I was always good in math.
It's not like we have to flip any switches,
They've got a good team. I know their record doesn't say it, but they've got guys that are really starting to play well. They have a lot of confidence, especially against us. They have guys who know how to play.
They've been outstanding. They've just stepped in and done the job.
