bit bounce errors game sloppy
It was a little bit of a sloppy game tonight. We'll bounce back tomorrow. Errors are part of the game.
game wait
The thing about this game is that it doesn't wait on you.
bad extra felt game josh last rest second start ted
Ted (Lilly) has a bad back right now, something he felt the day after his last start (March 26). So we'll give him an extra day of rest and have Josh (Towers) start the second game and Lilly the third.
everybody game question starter tough whether
There's no question he's been through some tough times, but you know what, everybody has a little bit. This whole game comes down to location. Whether you're a starter or a reliever, you have to make a pitch.
begin confident game goes great hope kid knocked matter played
I would hope not. He's a confident kid to begin with, you can tell by the way he goes about his business, the way he acts. There has never been a great one that played this game that didn't get knocked on their butt. It's just a matter of if you get back up or not.
ask build games good knock love played playing trying type
It doesn't get any easier, but we've played them good all year. We'd love to go in there and knock them out somehow. We couldn't ask for more for what we're trying to do here. We're trying to build something, getting used to playing these type of games for our own experience.

We'll bounce back (today). It's the second game of the year.

There are 10 games left, and he's not ready to go today, ... Or tomorrow. So I can't answer that yet.
certain fair games guys looks money paying
It looks better, but I told these young guys certain games that I'm going to get them into, so I'm going to do that, ... I think it's important. ... I think it's fair to them. We're paying them a lot of money -- we may as well get them in there, right?
ahead along comparison few game good guys otherwise storm year
Very few guys come along like that, once every 20, 30 years, guys who take the game by storm right out of the gates. Hernandez is just way ahead of most 19 year olds, that's the difference. Otherwise these guys don't get here that fast. Same thing with Gooden. I don't know about that comparison yet, but he'd be pretty good if he is.
games knew lost situation toll
We knew when we lost those two there was going to be some games like this and it was going to take its toll on our bullpen. That's just the situation we're in.
aside best fans game gave lead maybe nobody win yankee
We gave them out best shot. We had the lead late. Aside from maybe Yankee fans and our own fans, nobody else in the world wanted to see us win that game for the weekend's sake.
