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.
needs team trying
We're trying to get to the playoffs. I know this team needs me. It needs all of us.
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.
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.
execute head help nice straight team win
Just another game. I've got to go out there and help my team win the game. But it's nice to come home. I've got to just keep my head on straight and execute pitches, and that's my whole thing. Nothing else.
team division tampa
There are no days off in our division. Even a team like Tampa Bay can beat you up.
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.
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.
