bad demanded ended fired guy record shows
That's the bad part of baseball: If you're the manager, you're going to get all the blame. He ended up getting fired for what we didn't do. He was the kind of guy who demanded everything he could get out of you. We just didn't get it done, and our record shows that.
good hits needed type
It was a good one. We have that type of line-up that every now and then can put some over the fence. We got some good offense. We needed some big hits and that's what we got.
field problems throwing worried
I've had some problems with throwing problems early, but it happens. It's like anything. You've just got to get through it and do some more field work. I'm not worried about it. I think I just need to get comfortable again.
bay behind casey good jason move pride runner sean three
It's very important for me to do well as the No. 2 guy. It's where I feel the most comfortable, and I take a lot of pride in it, especially with Sean Casey , Jason Bay and Jeromy Burnitz behind me. If I go 0 for 3 and move the runner over three times, I had a pretty good day.
beat chance good hit pitch potential score team throw tough
It's been tough for us, no question. I think we're a better team this year. We just have to go out and pitch well. If we throw a good game, we have a chance to beat them. We have the potential to hit and score some runs.

bats entire game great hits second swinging time tonight
We've been swinging the bats great lately. We've been outhitting most of our opponents. Most of the time we haven't been getting the big hits. Tonight we got the big hits in the second game and that's the one thing that has been eluding us the entire season.
conference good rest won
We had a good season, we had fun, we won the Mason-Dixon Conference championship. But after that, we got on with the rest of our life.
good
You're thinking, 'Not again. But the good thing it isn't serious.
best finds grasped offense score teams win
The teams that are the best teams find a way to win when they don't have their best games. The offense finds a way to score runs. I think we haven't really grasped that idea yet.
above absolute arm ball baseman best cannon defensive double everybody good great guy hands rarely second turns
Castillo is a good second baseman and he's going to be a great defensive second baseman. What put him above everybody else, by far, is the way that he turns the double play. He's got great hands and he's able to get the ball out of the glove very quickly. He also has an absolute cannon for an arm. Very rarely do you find a second baseman who has the best arm on the team. That guy does.
hit
Oliver did great, and we just didn't get the big hit for him. Oh, well.
point stronger
I'm a lot stronger now than I have been at any point this season,
behind pitch played seen
It's kind of different because you've never seen him pitch before, never played behind him,
