blowing favorite guys
I think without a doubt, those guys are the favorite to win. And I'm not blowing smoke, because there's something to be said for guys that have done it before.
best lack trade
I can't say enough about Kennedy, Witasick and Payton, ... To me, Payton's been the biggest. I think it's thesingle best trade we've ever made ? just because of the lack of offense.
last remember time
I can't even remember the last time we got swept.
four lose mean
If we lose these ballgames (against the Rangers), those four (against the Angels) won't mean anything,
case fine sure wings
Whatever. They (the U.S. team) want to keep me in the wings in case (Alex Rodriguez) doesn't play, that's what happened. If it was someone else, I'm sure they say it was OK. But I'm fine with it.
bottom games three
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.
good shut stuff team wants
He's a big-game pitcher. You can tell he wants to be out there. He's got the stuff to go out and shut down a good team like that.
He's a big-game pitcher. You can just tell.
foot good opening ready seen staying swing
He's going to be ready (for Opening Day). I've seen how good his swing looks, I don't think that was ever a question. It was just his foot and staying healthy.
along bad coming doubt everybody good jerks minded obviously open opposite since situations time written
He's funny, he's completely opposite of everything that's been written about him. Obviously there have been some unfortunate situations with him, but coming into it I think everybody was open minded and there was no doubt in anybody's mind that he was going to have a good time here and he was going to get along with the guys. Since I've been here, there haven't been any jerks or bad personalities.
caught evident history numbers quite season
We lost. The numbers say you're out and the season is over -- that's it. I think it was quite evident we were not going to do it. The numbers and history were not on our side. When he caught the ball, that's the end, There's no more.
against stuff watching
He was O.K.. His stuff was a little flat. Watching the video, he was much better against New York.

blame field finger gonna handled hit improve ourselves panic pointing putting
He didn't hit the panic button. He wasn't putting the blame on anybody, wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. He told us we're gonna still come to the field and improve ourselves every day. He handled it the way a professional should handle it.
