Pretty good lefty, huh? Every time he goes to pitch, we feel like we're going to win the game.
bullpen full good guys hands next possibilities
Correia and (Brad) Hennessey were guys who were always up and down, bullpen back to starting. Now we have our hands full with good possibilities for next year. Correia won't have to go back to the bullpen.

The trainer had a pretty good feeling this (wasn't) 1999.

We had injuries, Bonds and (Armando) Benitez. To this day, Bonds hasn't shown up. And a lot of guys didn't have a good season. So you bring up the young guys.

The acquisition of Matt Morris is a good, good one. He's great.
care champions compete country cuba cup earned fans good loses olympic players region stature wins
I don't care if Cuba wins or loses every game. I just want to see them play. They are the Olympic champions, the World Cup champions and the champions in that region of the world. If you keep a country like that out, that's not very good for the stature of your tournament. Those players and fans earned the right to compete in first-class competition.
care good offensive team
I don't care how good an offensive team you have. If he is missing, a lot is missing. ... I know I feel better, and I'm not even in the lineup.
believe bonds came giants good help knee last late outfield rule year
I believe that the DH rule is going to be in effect, so Bonds will probably just hit. I think it will be good for him to get those at-bats without having to be in the outfield like he did when he came back late last year on that knee and at least sharpen his swing, which really don't need a whole lot to be sharp, but it will be a help for him and to the Giants and to the tournament, to the U.S. team.

Batting third could help him hit .300 for the first time. He's too good a hitter not to have done that.
compete fact game good leave mean pitch ready swing tells
If they pitch to him, he's going to swing a good bat. I'd pitch to him if the game doesn't mean anything. ... The fact he told me to leave it the way it is, 'cleanup,' tells me he's ready to compete out there.
barry four good innings outfield supposed trip
Barry was supposed to go four at-bats, but we had some long innings at night. I just didn't think one more at-bat or one trip to the outfield was going to do that much. He got a good workout.
base besides extra good reaching taking tremendous
Barry, besides what he does with the bat, he's a tremendous base-runner. He doesn't have speed, but his sense of reaching a base or taking the extra base is still there. He's a good judge.
baseball expect feeling gets good hit knew time
We knew he was going to hit one. We knew he was going to hit more than one. We expect him to hit one every time he comes to the plate, and that's a good feeling even if he doesn't do anything. The anticipation gets everyone on their toes. What we need to do now is get him into good baseball shape, which he is not in now.
baseball fight figured good guy knew matter player time
We knew he was going to fight his way out of it. A guy like that is just too good a baseball player ... We knew it was just a matter of time before he figured it out, and he did.
