Our lineup's been thin all year. We played without three guys for three or four out of six months. We'll be all right.

Our lineup has been thin all year. We just need to win a game and we won't be worried anymore.
That didn't feel great, so I left it for the day. We'll try again tomorrow.
The always-important last at-bat. That's big, especially here.
I saw his postseason record was 1-5, and I was really surprised, ... I remember some of the games he pitched -- two hits, one run against Arizona a couple years ago. He's a big-game pitcher.
I think when he came down I was still sliding and I caught his shin guard a little bit. It's not that big of a deal.
I think Brad, to me, is the best closer in the game. His stuff is way above average, and he's got a good idea what he's doing. He's still kind of new to the league, and guys really haven't gotten a feel for him. But I think even if you have a feel for him, you still don't have much of a chance.
I wouldn't want to sit in the training room all day and make those guys work when they've got 50 guys in there. If I can go out there and play with a little bit of pain, I can stay out of the training room.
You can circle a couple guys' names who carried us all year long, and those five guys are probably at the top of the list.
It's going to take a little bit longer than one day to get used to this place.
It's getting a lot of attention because I had to get an MRI. It's not really that bad. I'm not really concerned baseball-wise, I just would like to have it feel normal or somewhat normal.
It's getting a little too much attention right now, but that's how it is when you go to the doctor. If I can't feel my forearm for the rest of my life, I'll be OK. There are worse things than that.
It's hard to tell. I hit some balls in batting practice I thought were going to be homers, and they weren't. And a couple I didn't think would be, and they went into the seats.
