lose loss spoils takes team win
When you lose a game, it spoils everything. It takes all of us to win a game, that's obvious. It's a team game. The loss overshadows anything personal.
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.
clean few heels notch past playing playoff seems sitting step weeks wind
We need to step it up another notch before Wednesday. It seems like we've been sitting around on our heels the past few weeks playing not to get hurt. When you do that, you wind up playing not to win, and we have to clean that up before our first playoff game.
almost ball college fun league playing win
It's not a 'rah-rah' college atmosphere, but it's fun and it's exciting. We're here to win ball games. It's almost like we're 10 years old playing Little League again.
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.
fun winning having-fun
I like to have fun, and the only way to have fun is to win.

When you lose a game it just spoils everything. The loss overshadows anything personal.
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.
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.
game good great pitching solid timely
Finally, I think this is our first solid game - great pitching and, more importantly, timely hitting. It was just a good game overall.
good pitcher proved sure threw
We all know how good a pitcher he is, ... He sure proved it today. The same with our pitcher. He threw a pretty good game, too.
last looking ourselves results
If we can't get ourselves together, ... we'll be looking at the same results as last year.
deal
I don't know what the deal is. It's pretty sore.
One to 10, this is a 10 or 11. It's very disappointing.
