best bullpen chance good joey letting seven six starters took
We have a good bullpen when our starters can go six or seven innings. I feel we have the best bullpen in the league. We took a chance letting (reliever) Joey Cole go, but right now, I feel it was a good decision.
best expect field head sounds tomorrow worse
I didn't expect to play today, and it sounds even worse for tomorrow (today), so we'll see what happens. You never know with the weather. We wanted to play if we could and we were able to. (Campanelli head groundskeeper) Tommy Hassett is the best groundskeeper I've ever been around and we've got the best field I've seen, and that allows us to play after all that rain.
coach win
I know I'll never win championships here like Coach Colombo did for all those years, but he told me a lot of things about what Brockton is about.
proud terms
I'm very proud of what this organization has done in terms of our involvement in the community,
I like the way things are going for us right now,
consider fancy four fries hamburger people soon steak
I'm a neighborhood-bar kind of guy, anyway. I'd just as soon have a hamburger and fries as have a steak or a fancy meal. I like to be around people I consider my friends, and I've made a lot of friends in my four years here.

We came in as the new kid on the block in the City of Champions, and the people here embraced us from the start,
bats best five gonna good hits pitcher swinging win
We only had two hits in the first five innings, and you're not gonna win very often doing that. We've been swinging the bats good lately, but it just wasn't our night. That was their best pitcher and he did a good job.
accepted came people reason saw visited
Essentially, we came in here as a new business, and people accepted us, and one reason is because we visited the schools, visited the hospitals, went to openings, all of those things. We were out in the community, people saw us and accepted us as part of the community.
job oil runs super
It won't happen, because nothing comes that easy. Oil Can did a super job in the first game, but we couldn't get any runs for him. That is the way it has been through out the season. 'Can' should be 10-2, not 4-4.
certainly decision
It's a decision that certainly could have backfired, and still might.
buildings businesses city help proud seen time
I've seen a lot of new buildings go up, the new library, new developments and new businesses which will help the city over the long haul. There have been some big improvements in this city in the time I've been here, and I think those are things the city should be especially proud of.
decide oil ready start until wait warm whether
At first, they wanted to wait until we were ready to start to decide whether to play, but I didn't want to have Oil Can (Boyd) warm up, and then not play the game,
blow breeze coming fog gonna gotten meant storm stuff
It wasn't like there was gonna be a breeze that would blow that fog away. That stuff wasn't going anywhere. And if we had gotten a breeze, that probably would have meant another storm coming in, and that wouldn't have been good, either.
