contest defend game hard talked trying win
They wanted to win a game for Greg. We talked about trying to scrap, defend hard and contest every shot.
fought game hard league physical
Every game in this league is a hard fought battle. We wanted to play physical and take it to them. Selah wanted to play physical and take it to us. I say let's go at it.
defense game kept knew played
Our defense has kept us in every game we've played this year. I knew we'd come out and play hard.
baseball games people
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
games play fields
I have figured out it's not what you do on the field, it's how many games you play in.
team winning games
My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I can do that, everything will take care of itself.
games names doe
Come on, when does it come to the point where your name can't come up in trade talks? Willie Mays got traded. Pedro Martinez got traded. So what? That's part of the game.
attitude games play
I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard.
games lasts good-times
I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.
best dad left match talked
In a way it was heartbreaking, but I talked to my Dad (Steve) and he talked me through it. I left it all on the mat. I did my best. He just wrestled a better match tonight. Now I will do the best I can to go out with a win.
gray matt perfect talk
Talk about a Matt Gray coming-out party. A career-high and perfect from the field.
great hard kids played
Sunnyside played a great game. Our kids played hard too.
alcohol drive thinks three
At .08 (blood alcohol level), you can't drive a car. But at three times that, (the prosecution) thinks you know what you're doing with a knife? That's ridiculous.
kids second
The kids really started scrapping in the second half. They really wanted this game.
