deal prove
We want to prove that we're going to be someone to deal with in this division.
worried
I just did too much, too soon. That's pretty much what it was. I'm not worried about it anymore.
agree call fair job lacking past
In the past, I think it's a fair job -- if that's what you want to call it -- because I can't agree more that we've been lacking intensity,
biggest caliber canyon grand hole
If you don't go out and get that caliber of ballplayer, it's just a Grand Canyon in our lineup pretty much. It's the biggest hole ever.

In the last few years we've hit a bad spell right now because we've already clinched,
bad few hit last since spell
In the last few years, we hit a bad spell right about now because it had been a while since we clinched,
fortunate good hits kept overall single team
Two-out hits are always good. Furcal kept the inning going with the single up the middle. I was fortunate to hit one. It was a good overall team win.

When a team comes out and gets a little momentum like that, I think it's very imperative to come out and throw a crooked number up on the board the next half inning. It's a quick momentum shift back to our side. Once we got that shift, it just seemed like we held it from there.
few good hands hurt last sit weeks
We used to sit on our hands in the last few weeks and just try not to get hurt. This is good for us.
people saying

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.
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.
