I was thinking triple all the way. It's good, too, because it usually takes a triple to score Jorge.
We had chances, we had opportunities to score and we couldn't come up with hits. You can't give teams extra outs.
It's easy to play when you score 15 runs with Randy Johnson pitching. But it'll take a while to find out how good we really are. But I like what I see so far.
We had some opportunities to score early and we let Boomer off the hook.
I thought he battled. He lost some control in that one inning but kept us in the game. We had our opportunities to score but we couldn't come up with that big hit.
He's as tough as any pitcher in baseball. We tried to score early and Robby had the big hit.
Well, you don't have to look at the scoreboard anymore.
You'd assume that somebody would score yesterday. That's how it goes.
We wrapped up our division at the All-Star break,
We're familiar with them and they're familiar with us, so the best team over the next five games will win.
We have no excuses. We got all the breaks to get to this point. We had our chance.
We've won it before, and anything short of that is failure. You don't work the whole off-season, spring training and six months of games to finish second or third. If you don't win, you should feel it's a failure.
We know we can't rely on scoring all those runs. We know it's great to have some guys that are swinging the bats well, and we're going to score. But it's not going to happen all season.
Wakefield was probably as good as I've seen him. His ball was moving all over the place. We could have been out there for another three hours and I don't think we'd have gotten any more hits off him.
