pick time
I think if I could pick any time for us to get hot, it's right now.
ball good hit lucky nice saw
I think I just got as lucky as I ever have in my life, because I don't think I ever saw the pitch. It's just nice to hit a ball on the barrel, and more importantly, it's just nice to see us play good ball.
early peak peaked problem year
I thought that all year we didn't want to peak too early. I think that's been our problem in the past, that we've peaked too early and then relaxed.
confidence huge legs
I think that was huge for me, personally, to get my confidence back and get my legs back under me. I feel great. I feel like I'm right back on track.
felt nice road trip
That was a seven-game road trip and it really felt like two weeks. It's just nice to be home.
bit exactly game maybe spark
I think this is exactly what we need. I think we need a bit of a challenge, something to maybe spark us and something to get us going. This game is all about momentum, and right now we don't have it.
exactly focusing games happen job last point reason three
I think these last three games showed that anything can happen at any point in the game. That's exactly the reason why you keep focusing on the job and get the job done.
mean
That'd be cool, ... and it'd mean one of us is going to the World Series.
people saying
People are just saying that so they can have something to print.
pitch throws
Pedro throws a lot like Livan (Hernandez). He'll throw off-speed on any pitch in the count. He pitched great. We couldn't do anything.
best clean face glad hitter knew last single trying worked
Our best hitter was on deck. I knew the last thing he wanted to do was face Renteria. I would have been glad just to hit a clean single somewhere. The last thing I'm trying to do is hit one to the wall, but it worked out.
felt glad heart jump shut
I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my shirt. That's why I shut it down. I'm glad I shut it down.
almost guys intensity league playing winning
Giles said. ''We've got it now. With these young guys we have the intensity that we need. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing Little League again, but winning is more important now.
ahead fit fits future great hate kyle lose moves personal piece puzzle team
From a personal standpoint, I hate to lose Roman; he's got a great future ahead of him. From a team standpoint, we need to make moves that can fit in like a piece in a puzzle. Kyle Farnsworth fits in a little better into our puzzle right now.
