We lost a lot of heart -- those two guys.
battles exciting fighting solved
While it's exciting to be a present-day Thurgood Marshall, it is also disappointing that we are still fighting the same battles that should've been solved years ago.

You can't do anything about it until he decides to change. Hopefully, he'll pull through this, and it'll be like a call for him to change some things in his life.
ability couple enjoying few fun game last minor proven talked
We talked about it, we made a few minor changes. I've proven I can do it, I have the ability. The last couple years it hasn't happened. I don't think I'm on the downside, I don't think I'm sliding. I can still play the game. It's just relaxing, having fun again, enjoying the game again.

This one's tough. I take a lot of blame.

This one's tough, and I take a lot of blame. I feel like I should have come through in those situations.

My understanding is it's a mild strain, and I'll get a couple days off. I'll get treatment and see how everything goes.

hearing help kinds stuff team
No, I don't think so. Like I said before, I'm going to go out and play and play hard. Right now it's a little tough. I'm not getting very many hits. I'm hearing all kinds of stuff in the outfield. But, hey, I'm here to help this team win.
hard matt talked
Yes, I was surprised. Stunned. I never thought something like this would come up with Matt. I don't know all the details, but he's a hard worker. Everything he's gotten, he's earned. I actually talked to Matt today, but we didn't talk about this. I didn't say anything about it.
kidding
I thought he was kidding when he told me he was going to do it. It was surprising.
bounce hang team
That's the team I remember. You bounce back like that and don't hang your head.

Other teams aren't going to stop trying to beat us because these guys aren't playing. We got to try to soften some of the blow we have been dealt right now.
came carried eddie hawk heart
It hurt. A lot. It's tough. Especially because that's what got us here. We all came up together. A lot of heart went out of the bullpen. Eddie and Hawk carried a lot of weight.
