We're playing all the teams that are right there with us. You can handle your business and control your destiny. That's what you want to do in September. This is the road trip to do that.
african baseball certainly definitely feeling good numbers playing programs seeing solve special
It's certainly not a good feeling seeing our numbers going down the way they are. I definitely want to see more African Americans playing in baseball again. Hopefully, we can come up with more special programs to solve this problem.
amazing balls catch definition gets good hitting looks louis missing movement playing wonder
It's amazing ? it looks like he's just playing catch with the mitt, even with the movement on his pitches. The other day, St. Louis has a good hitting lineup, and they were missing balls by a foot. You want the definition of pitching, it's him. You wonder how he gets it done.
ball both far games hitting pitchers playing sides winning year
It's just amazing. He's doing something this year I don't think a lot of pitchers have ever done as far as playing both sides of the ball, winning 21 games and hitting the ball the way he is.

(When) you get a pitching performance like that, you want to get a win. We should be able to scrape together two or three runs, but we didn't get it done. Offensively, we have to get better.
everybody knows matter
Everybody knows he's going to be special. It's just a matter of time.
came definitely five game heat love root rooting sneak sports talk thursday within
I didn't like the way they came out the other night. I wanted them to come out like the Spurs, within the first five minutes, the game was over. I still think they are going to be all right. I'm kind of torn. I can't really talk about them too much here in Chicago. They love their sports out here. I have to root for the Heat silently around here. I'm definitely rooting for them, though. They play Thursday here, and we have an off-day. I'm going to see if I can sneak in there.
care fans help rather team unnoticed whether win
I don't care about that stuff. I'd rather go unnoticed anyway. As long as I help the team win and get to the World Series, that's all I need. Whether there's two fans there or 20,000 in the stands, I'm going to play the same.
cardinals couple ourselves position stuff time whatever
Mentally, we just didn't get it done for whatever reason. Stuff went our way a couple times in the Cardinals series, and this time we didn't put ourselves in a position to have things go our way.
reason
I think that's the only reason we're at where we're at today.
ball fall looked wheels
From the stands, it looked we had everything in hand. All of a sudden, a ball here and a ball there and the wheels fall off,
amazing
He's doing something amazing out there this year,
causes evident game good guys intent offense start
This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.
crucial effort fall forth game time tough wheels
Just to see the wheels fall off, it's a tough one to swallow, especially this time of year. This is one to think about. It's a crucial game and we put forth an effort like that.
