We still have the opportunity now, if we sweep (the Angels), to come out even for the last weekend.

answered came flat foot game half kept neck team
How can a team be flat when you know what you have on the line? We know what this game means. We know what every game means. We're not going to come out flat on Sept. 21 when we're a game and a half out. They came out, they jumped on us, they never let us up. We scored three. They answered back. They kept their foot on our neck and never let us breathe. That's what the game was today.

This is the toughest sun field in the big leagues; it's no secret. I never had a chance to set up. The ball never came out of the sun.

Everyone in here knows what we went through as a team. Nobody was pointing fingers last year, and nobody's pointing fingers this year.
flu sick
It was just a 24-hour flu thing. I was pretty sick on Sunday.
everybody goes rely remain themselves
For the most part, everybody goes about their business. Everybody handles themselves in a professional manner. All we have to do is go out and play. You don't have to rely on someone else's opinion. It's always different in different clubhouses. We just want to remain consistent.

Young hitters are going to go through their ups and downs. When the offense was hot, those two guys were contributing most of the time.
