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.
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.
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.
expect game guys people played supposed teams type
I think the teams we have had here have been Brockton kind of teams, hard-working blue-collar type guys who play the game the way it's supposed to be played and how the people here expect you to play.
anyone plays roles

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.
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.
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.
