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?
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.

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

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.
deficit doubt knew last meant rather

It's a tough loss, there's no doubt about it. For them to come in and score five runs with two out in the eighth, that's tough to swallow.
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.
ahead doubt good might pitchers uses using weapon woody
Woody uses it more as a strikeout pitch. He's using it the way other pitchers might use a splitter or a cutter. There's no doubt it's a good weapon when you're working with it like he does, ahead in the count.
ball catching felt game hard strike time today tough wild
His ball was darting in, it was darting away. It was effectively wild in the strike zone. I had a tough time today catching the ball. I hadn't had a game like that where I felt like I was going to have a hard time catching the ball.
