enjoying goal good hit knowing letting pass speech talked
I thought Joe's introductory speech really hit home. He talked about enjoying the game, not letting it pass you by, knowing we do have a good team. That's why the goal here is getting to the World Series.

We will score runs. We just hit a little dry-spell Yeah, we're frustrated we're 1-4, frustrated that we just lost, but there's plenty of season to go.

I was making sure he would take me out to get some sushi this year, take me to some good Japanese restaurants. I told him I'll take him to some good Thai restaurants.

You'll never see me be mad. I can't control that. I can control the way I raise my kids, how I treat my wife, my family, friends and teammates. It's all in good fun. It's a game, and that's how I look at it.

You know they're booing a uniform now. They don't boo bad players. They boo good players.

We need to win tomorrow. We have to slow down the momentum they have and give us a chance.

We had enough to win this year. We needed the White Sox to not hit and we needed some luck ... and we didn't get it.

We need to know how to win close games, and this was close most of the way. We need to know how to push runs across.

We can't just throw our gloves out onto the field anymore and expect to win. The world has caught up. A few countries may have passed us. There are great players from all over the planet.
dictates hitting scoring season
We had opportunities; we just couldn't capitalize. That's the most aggravating thing about this game. When you're not hitting and scoring runs, it dictates how well your season goes.
africa beat game guys maybe runs scenarios score shown south
We were shown all the scenarios after the game and we were kind of in awe. A lot of guys thought it was runs scored, so we thought maybe we'd have to go out and try and beat South Africa by a lot of runs. But it's runs allowed, and the South Africa score does not count. That's strange, too.
eyes knows runs shut
Just keep them there, we'll get the runs back, ... Bronson knows the look in our eyes when we come in between innings. We tell him, shut them down because we're going to get them tonight.
