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.
chances guess winning
Well, I guess the more chances you give yourself, the better chance you've got of actually winning one,
couple games obviously win
Obviously being 0-2 is not where you want to be. But at the same time, we play well here and we know that if we win a couple games we're right back in it.
confidence game hopefully last mean obviously pick series seven six sweep tough win won
To win the series we obviously had to win at least one game here. It was big for our confidence, not having won one here last year, to pick up this victory. But that doesn't mean we're going to sweep them when we go home. They're a tough team. This is going to be a long series. I think it's going to go six or seven games. Hopefully we'll come out on top.
error felt last margin win
There's a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasn't a lot of fun.
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.
starting wild win
If we win (the wild card), it's because we have unbelievable starting pitching,
expect game win work
We expect to win that game 99 times out of 100, but it didn't work out tonight.
best good stuff winner
He's always tough, and he's a 20-game winner for a reason. He's a good pitcher. I don't think he had his best stuff tonight, but he had good enough stuff to win.
fun winning errors
Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.
doubt miss
We miss his bat. There's no doubt about that.
played
I've never played in that ballpark. It's going to be fun.
issue mountain people quite
The steroid issue is not quite as big an issue as some people think. This is a hot-button issue now. People are making a mountain out of a molehill.
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.
