definitely
It's definitely a grind. But that's how it's been set up for us.

As a player, it feels great to hear how the fans appreciate you and your hard work.
coming
The big thing was not coming in here and getting swept.
discount great pass player point understand
I understand their point of view. (Piazza is) a great player that they got at a discount price. How do you pass up on that?
nervous possible thinking time work
The whole time on the flight, I'm thinking there is no possible way this is going to work out. I was nervous as anything.
ball flight game glad nervous possible thinking time work
The whole time on the flight I'm thinking there is no possible way that this is going to work out. I'm glad I got through it because I was nervous as anything. I don't think I have been that nervous in a ball game every in my career.
ability biggest coming confident guys knew last lose six three trying win
The biggest thing was not coming in here and getting swept. That would have put a damper on where we?re trying to get to. We play these guys three more times. We knew that as long as we didn?t lose six times to these guys out of the last 20 games, we feel confident in our ability to win the East.
doubt five runs score tough

community excited girls great grow
It's great for the girls to grow up in a community like this. We like it a lot. We're excited about being here.
deficit doubt knew last meant rather
After it got so close, you knew it was going to come down to the end. Would I rather be a half-game up at this point? There's no doubt about it. If we can't make up a half-game deficit over the last 10 games, it wasn't meant to be anyway.
avoid extend far leaving pressure sweep taken team today winning
You want to come in here and sweep because you can extend your lead, but you don't want to get swept. By winning yesterday, there was a lot of pressure taken off this team as far as having to avoid a sweep today and leaving here with a one-game lead.
