everybody felt good likes needed playing
I felt like when I needed to, I did a pretty good job. Everybody here likes to play in these kind of games, because you're playing for something.
everybody loss nice pitch runs score seen showing since worst
There are a lot of us that were on that 2003 team, so it's not like it's showing we know how to win. We've got to win games, we've got to score runs and we've got to pitch well. We need to get everybody back on track. It's nice to come back and score all these runs after the worst loss I've seen since I've been in Florida. It was nice.
afford anybody everybody fifty mostly percent prospects says stadium wants win won
Fifty percent of me says they'll keep mostly everybody here and 50 percent says they won't. I know the stadium is a big issue. Jeffrey wants to win more than anybody I've ever met, but at what price? I mean, how long can you afford to keep doing this? There are no prospects of getting us a stadium. We've won two world championships and we can't get one. It's crazy.
baseball beginning everybody explain fun golf life living paid season
Everybody has new jokes. It's a fun time. I don't really know how to explain it. You get to play baseball for a living and get paid very well and you get to have a life. During the season you don't have a life because baseball is all day long. Here it's at the beginning of the day and then I can go play golf every day.
best everybody goes helping normal stuff time treat
It's kind of probably normal stuff that everybody goes through this time of year. We're going to treat it the best we can. As long as I'm helping the team, I want to be out there.
easily either game guys happy however tie
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out.
against bad believed execute guy luck needed pitches pitching six
I've always believed you make your own luck. I wouldn't say I had bad luck today. I just didn't execute pitches when I needed to. Pitching against a guy (Zambrano) like that, you can't give up six runs.
coming opening
Coming from Florida, opening day is sometimes the only day you have like that.
correct deal definitely hard home learn whatever
There's got to be some kind of deal you learn from this. I'm definitely going to go home and think hard about it and try to correct whatever it was.
excuse
There's no excuse for tonight. It was brutal, brutal, brutal.
baseman hitting home
That was bull, hitting our first baseman after he hit a home run.
apart coming good guys hope start swallow team tear tough
That's the way we feel. We'll see how things play out. I hope they don't tear this team apart and we have to start all over. I know we have some good young guys coming up, but it would be tough for a lot of us to swallow if we have to start over.
That's what he should do, right? ... He's a home-run hitter.
days felt focused found great
You know, I felt intense, I felt focused today. Days when you have great stuff, you probably shouldn't give up any runs, and I still found a way to give up two.
