eighth hopefully ninth performance played poor won year
You can go back in the year and look at the seventh, eighth and ninth inning; we played well enough to win. We should have won those ballgames. ... Hopefully (the poor performance of the relievers) will be addressed this offseason.

We were made a mockery of in the first two months and here we are in September still playing for something. We've come through a lot. It's not a burden to be playing for the playoffs. There are a lot of teams making vacation plans.

We've got to sweep. The door's still open. It's a little crack, but it's open. If we go 3-1, we're still two games out with three to play. We've got to sweep. That's the bottom line.

Nobody knew this year these guys were going to do as well as they've done,

Of all the times I've been here, ... this was the most impressed I've ever been with one of our pitchers.
barry case childhood chop far growing happens head hero mac totally wish worst
Barry was my childhood hero growing up, and what he's going through I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But as far as this being race-related? I totally disagree. If Big Mac (Mark McGwire) was playing, he'd be in the same boat. This is a case where if there is a beast, you chop the beast's head off. That happens to be Barry. I think we all want to see the end of the story. I want the right information.
