ball guy hit respecting type whenever
I wanted to make a point. You look like a jackass whenever you hit the ball like that and you're pimping it, and you're out. I'm kind of about respecting the game, and I'm not the type of guy to not say anything.
losing starting takes team together tough
It takes a while for a team to jell, and I think it's starting to come together now. It's really tough when you're losing and not doing well to jell like that.
challenge chapter forward looking
It's a new chapter in my life, ... It's a challenge I'm looking forward to.
anybody joking rise root shocked trying
It kind of shocked me. When I read it, I can't lie, I did chuckle. It wasn't chuckling at anybody really, it was just because I know Ozzie. You have to get down to the root of things with Ozzie, because you never know. You don't know if he was serious, if he was joking -- you just don't know. He could've just been trying to get a rise out of those guys.
besides guys pitchers scoring teams three top
It's about scoring runs. Pitching, your top three pitchers are going to be out there but besides that, they are going to be yanking guys pretty quick. All the teams will do this, Houston, Philly.
hit
I told him he's going to hit 40 homers, 38 of them when I'm pitching,
name tried
I tried everything. You name it, I probably tried it.
people
We're going to need some luck. We have to have some people lose.
half month
We've still got little more than half a month to go, probably three-quarters of a month actually. We've got to keep winning. This thing ain't over yet.
fun takes
We're kind of back to our old ways, making fun of one another. It's pretty cool. It takes a while for things to jell.
batting guys spots starting
We had some guys who had been starting and batting in different spots in the order,
good main nice runs series won
We won the series - that's the main thing. It would have been nice to sweep. It's just one of those deals. You can't give up that many runs to that good of a pitcher.
double guy hits instead mean
That's huge. I mean this guy hits a double there, then we are down 4-0 instead of 1-0.
again business die face gone sometime sure
That's my fault. It was kind of a heat-of-the-battle thing. I probably should have just let it die and gone on about my business and let him go on about his, but I didn't. That's all right. I'm sure I'll face him again sometime down the road.
