breaks control
What are you going to do? Those are the breaks of the game, and you can't control that stuff.
move suck
We're going to have to suck it up and move on. It's not going to be easy.
gets hits hitters home seems showing stop threat twice whenever
With the hitters we have, we are a threat to hit homers any time. I told Preston to stop showing me up. It seems like whenever I hit a home run, he gets up and hits one twice as far.
career freak giving happen home runs
This will probably never happen to him in his career again, giving up home runs in consecutive games. It's one of those freak things.
base hit nice trying
I was just trying to get a base hit. I don't hit very many of those right-handed, so it was pretty nice to get that one.
retire
I think I'll still retire before you will.
against command good great jump tough trying
I think he didn't have great command on what he's trying to do out there. He's been very tough against us, so it was good to jump on him early.
hoping outfield rehab sure trying
I'm hoping to do as little as possible. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of rehab and trying to take it easy, not doing as many outfield drills.
best guys obviously people roger saying schedule stay tonight
People have been saying we have the best schedule for the wild-card race, but I don't know that's true, ... These guys are tough, and we still have to play the game. Anything can happen, and obviously tonight Roger didn't have his best stuff, and they capitalized on it and we weren't able to stay in the game.
squeeze
Squeeze it tight. Get under it and squeeze it tight.
chance point three win
I think we had a chance to win all three games. We just didn't do it. You could point to those situations, but they had a lot of those situations, too.
chances guess winning
Well, I guess the more chances you give yourself, the better chance you've got of actually winning one,
bother great group mentally together tough
We don't give up, we don't let circumstances bother us. I think we have a group of mentally tough guys. We've experienced a lot of disappointment together and we've come back from that and experienced a lot of great things together.
far fifth fourth great production questions
We have a lot of questions as far as our fourth and fifth guys. It's just an unknown. We may get some great production out of there, but you just don't know at this point.
