best continue couple expect felt five four good grow last past possibly respect shoulder situation streak tough year
When you have a streak intact, you want to keep it going as long as you possibly can, ... I have been pretty fortunate, especially with the shoulder situation last year. The past four or five years, I've felt pretty lucky. I don't really expect anything. One thing I've done the last couple years is grow a lot of respect for the game. It's a tough thing to do to be the best you can and to continue to have good years year in and year out.
happened last miracle regardless sweep year
Regardless of what happened today, we've got to sweep. We'd need a miracle going for us to sweep them, but you never know. It was a miracle last year with Boston.
last remember time
I can't even remember the last time we got swept.
borderline couple good last
We're doing something pretty special. We've been good the last couple years. But this is borderline spectacular.
boston came chance fighting last miracle until year
It's a miracle we're going after for now. You never know. It was a miracle last year (in the playoffs) when Boston came back on New York. We'll keep fighting until they tell us there's no chance to make it.
bats dictate good hitting last pitching swing swinging
As good as our pitching has been, you can tell when we swing the bats well, they are comfortable. When we're not swinging the bats, they are not too comfortable on the mound. Hitting will really dictate how well we do the last month.
defense great hitting last solid
They're going to be a lot like us last year. They're not going to keep hitting like that, but they don't have to. They have solid defense and great pitching, just like they always do.
face minnesota pitching run shut since
When you face top-notch pitching and they shut you down that's one thing, but we haven't run into that since Minnesota (Aug. 12-14).
depend everybody forget ourselves pick shell time whatever
We've come through a lot, ... Whatever we do, this is for this team. It's time to forget about everybody else. We need to put ourselves in a little shell and look at each other and depend on each other and pick each other up. That's pretty much what it's all about.
failed felt home house money playing run
We felt like we were playing with house money when they failed to run home on that ball.
blood brain guys house playing rest smelled
We got lucky. They had a brain cramp. The rest of the game, we were playing with house money. ... I think the guys smelled blood in the water.
brain game house playing rest
We got lucky. They had a brain cramp, and the rest of the game we were playing with house money.
care matter work
I don't care about the results. It doesn't matter the lineup. I just work on my approach.
impressed
Of all the times I've been here, ... this was the most impressed I've ever been with one of our pitchers.
