I've never played in that ballpark. It's going to be fun.
best cover double might perfect plays seen sure threw throw turn
Probably one of the best double plays I've seen in my life, ... I thought, 'There's no way we're going to be able to turn this.' I actually thought he might try to throw it home. He pivoted and threw it to second, and I thought, 'Oh, man, I better cover first just in case.' Sure enough, it was a perfect relay.

We've got a logjam out there. We'll see how that plays out. It's an interesting situation.

against definitely expect half last playing saw second series spent team time trying
It's definitely a more even series than a 100-win team against an 89-win team. A big part of their second half was spent just trying not to get hurt. They weren't playing for anything. They had such a big lead. I expect them to be different than the last time we saw them.

When I started to play consistently and produce consistently, that's when I knew that I could compete and do well in the big leagues.
baseball player choices
If you gave me a choice between being married and being a baseball player, that's a no-brainer. I would be married any day. I just love it.
against coming fight good guys hands heart job last playing quit seems
You can't quit playing against these guys because they've got a lot of heart and fight to the last out. They did a good job of coming back and making it real interesting. It always seems like we have a fight on our hands when we come in here.
certainly expected guys hands last nine nobody paid regroup rest tough win
We weren't going to win the rest of them, ... Nobody expected us to go 9-0 over the last nine games. It would have been nice, but these guys are getting paid to play, just like we are. They're a tough team. We certainly have our hands full. We just have to regroup and come back tomorrow.
doubt miss
We miss his bat. There's no doubt about that.
