blast challenged early followed great paul runs start
We've been challenged many times this season, so for us to get those runs early and Paul having an unbelievable start was big for us, ... It was a bleeder and a blast followed by some great pitching.
difficult great improve people seem
It's great to get those guys. Some people seem to think that will automatically make everything that much better. But it's still going to be very difficult to improve on those numbers.
clubhouse couple expecting great guys last people reasonably saying
There are expectations this year. I'm not saying great expectations, but I think people are reasonably expecting us to be a lot more competitive than we've been the last couple of years. I know the guys in the clubhouse have a different feeling.
country following goes great names realize
There's a lot of great names on that trophy. Being Canadian, I have a whole other country that's following me. You don't play for the awards, but at the same time, you realize that it goes a long way for a lot of people.
city easy great history people stock understand
I can understand that. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, obviously, and we're an easy target, I guess. You can't put too much stock into it, I think. People who are here and in the city know about the great history here. But the people here are frustrated, too, and we understand that.
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.
guides slowly taken terrible
I started this neighborhood, and it's slowly been taken over. But that's OK. I'm just going to get one of those idiot's guides to Spanish. I'm terrible at it.
biggest hitting instead key kinda nice playing relax runs three
We had pitching, hitting and defense. It was nice to get all three working together. The biggest key was getting the three runs early. That let us kinda relax a little bit, instead of playing from behind.
actual days early few jump stuff week workouts
I wanted to get a little jump on things. It's not like I am here a week early or anything, but it's a few days to get the soreness and all of that stuff out before the actual workouts start.
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.
cylinders hope jobs
There's not much we can do about that. As hitters, you just do your jobs and hope we can get all cylinders going at some point.
good pitcher step teams
We need a pitcher to step up and be a stopper. A lot of good teams have that.
best teams
Those are the two best teams in the division. We'll find out where we stand.
