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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

I'm in the lineup. Feeling good is another thing. Just keep your fingers crossed.
ready season spring though
I'm not worried. I never like a lot of at-bats during spring training, though I do usually have better results. I'll be ready when the season starts.
bad
It wasn't all that bad of a game.
great wish
It's great to be back. I wish I could take two infields.
definitely hard last stick time work
It's definitely surprising. But it's so early, we have time to rebound. I think the last thing we want to do is panic. We just need to stick with each other and play hard and we'll work it out.
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.
