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.
guy intense sure
It's always been kind of intense but it's always been clean, too. I like every guy over there. There's not a guy I don't like. But I'm sure this won't be the end of it, that's for sure.
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).
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.
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.
guys knew nobody year
Nobody knew this year these guys were going to do as well as they've done,
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.
aggressive
I'm an aggressive hitter. I've always had the same approach.
shake
(The opener) was probably more disappointing for the fans. We were able to shake it off.
