base believe buffer clubhouse good guy happen needs office people team third
Every team needs people like that. It's not just what he does as a third base coach, and I happen to be believe he's very good at what he does. Having this guy as a buffer between my office and the clubhouse ... that's huge.

As the players get older, the problems become a little bit larger that you have to periodically deal with.
biggest chance element fifth good last pitcher starting
Did the starting pitcher give you a chance every fifth day to go out there and win? -- that's the biggest element I look at. (Santos) was pretty good at that last year.
awful center covered defensive double field himself plays quite sullivan
Cory Sullivan had quite a day for himself today. Not only did he do the big thing with the leadoff double offensively in the 10th inning, but he made two outstanding defensive plays in center field and covered an awful lot of ground.

both choices days decision few great guys hope next passed position problem summarize
To summarize for you, both guys passed (Saturday). It doesn't make any decision over the next few days any easier. But that's what you hope for. When you're in a position where you have to make choices like this, they're not easy. It's a great problem to have.

We did a good job of coming back against a very good ballclub.

There's no closer in baseball that's perfect, though we lost one (Gagne) who's as close to being one as there is. Brazoban has done a great job.

That was as good an at-bat as we've seen taken all year.
city hit tremendous
That will be a tremendous hit for Murfreesboro City Schools.

That was a part of the reason. There was one situation in particular that Kent picked up on. For competitive reasons, I'm not going to say what it was.

That was another terrific performance by Derek Lowe . You can't ask any more than what he has given us the past few starts.
