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.
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.
blame chooses game problem won
If he chooses to come back, I have no problem with that at all. You can't blame the manager. It was us. There were a lot of game we should have won this year.
alex gold last league national three won
Alex Gonzalez could have won the Gold Glove in the National League the last three years.
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.
execute exterior prepared rocket science takes trying
I think I've always been prepared for this. I know what I have to do. You can't make rocket science out of it. You just have to execute pitches. Don't let exterior distractions in. It just takes away from what you're trying to do.
