forward games innings looking nine playing spring
You go from spring training, where you're (in the lineup) here and there and you can't really simulate playing nine innings continually, to having to play 17 games in a row. I think everyone is looking forward to this day off.
enjoy game hot night point relish sure worked
It's not something I've set out to do, it's just worked out this way. I enjoy playing. I'm sure when I get a little older, I'll relish having a day game after a night game off on a hot afternoon, but not at this point in my career.
finally fun game nice
It was nice to finally have a game in which we could have some fun and relax. We haven't had a game like this all season.
anyone dealt forget game mind totally year
It's not as distracting as I thought it would be, ... It's in the back of your mind. For anyone to totally forget about that is not human. At the same time, I've dealt with a lot of distractions all year with the All-Star game and the 'sophomore slump.'
finally game good longer seems win
It's good to finally win a game ? it seems like it's a lot longer than it's actually been.

It's good to finally win a game -- it seems like it's a lot longer than it's actually been,
break carries game games help last momentum night rolling spell three whether win
This game is all about momentum, ... I think last night had (it) rolling through tonight. Momentum is what carries you. Whether you're 30 games back to three games back, momentum can break the spell and help win games.
bit games knowing last losing position press win
Being in all of those games and being in a position to win some of them, it's just frustrating being on the losing end of most of them. It's a little more frustrating knowing that you are probably a little bit better than you were last year. You should be doing better, but you're not. I think it makes everyone kind of press to do a little more than they probably should. I think that's compounding the problem.
bit early game hoping kinds knew picks sails sucked sure took type wind
Being down that early kind of took the wind out of our sails and I'm sure everyone was a little bit tired, a little bit sore. Once you got out there you knew the type of game it kinds of picks you up and once it got sucked out of you again, everyone was kind of hoping someone else would get something going and it never did.
defense game good hitting year
It's really the first game all year where we had our pitching, our hitting and our defense all working at the same time. That's a good sign.
easier game win
You want to win so badly, but this isn't a game where you can try harder. You have to try easier, and that's easier said than done.
bat behind eighth game innings key knowing lead night ninth playing tough
The key to the whole game was getting a lead early. We've been playing from behind in a lot of games. It's tough when you go into the seventh, eighth and ninth innings every night knowing that every at bat is do-or-die.
definitely finally gets ready talking
We've been talking about it for a while. Now we're just ready to get out there and get going. You have that anticipation, it finally gets here and you definitely get excited.
forward giving looking nice
It would be a nice little accomplishment. I'm looking forward to the opportunity, but it's not one of those things you can force. It's not like they are just giving it to you.
