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.
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.
happy hitting nice streak
It was nice to keep the hitting streak alive. But I would have been happy going 0-for-3 and getting a 4-1 win.
ball changed difference found game hit nice tonight
It was nice to hit the ball well. It's nice to have a four-hit game but I haven't changed anything. The only difference was that tonight the ball found some holes.
bullpen confidence deep games great hitters starters
It's just great to see our starters going deep in games and our bullpen getting some confidence. Now, all we need to do is keep grinding, get some hitters back, and I think we'll be fine.
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.

You've got to give them some credit. They've got some good veteran hitters over there.

Things are changing. We've got the young guys coming in here changing it for us.
clutch couple keeps last
Same old Pedro he's been the last couple of years. He keeps you off balance. We had our chances, we just couldn't get any clutch hits.
baseball caught gone last ourselves pat running series three winning
Running away with it is the last thing we need to do. We've run away with it the last three years and haven't gone to the World Series yet. I think we get a little too caught up in winning the division. We always want to pat ourselves on the back ... for winning 13 in a row. Let's see how many World Series we can win in a row, or even get to.
guys learn losing maybe rest seems silly top worth year
To me, it's not worth losing one of your top guys and they can't play the rest of the year for a concert. It kind of seems silly to me. Maybe we can learn something from this.
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.
