Maybe that's it. Either that or there was a flaw or defect in the baseball. I hit it hard but ... I don't know if I could take credit for that.
ball hardest hit
That was the hardest ball ever hit to me down at first base.
good great hitting mentioned number people three
Those are three great players, ... You can feel good about your accomplishment when you're mentioned with those players. Hitting 40 homers is a great number that not many people get to.
hitters less noticed offense pitching pressure shown staff throwing time
I've noticed we've been going after hitters a lot more this year, and throwing more strikes, and it's shown in our success. It's been nice. Any time the pitching staff is doing that better and more consistently, there's a lot less pressure on the offense going in.
against best expand gets hits lucky pitch spot zone
If he hits his spot he probably gets me out. You can't expand the zone against him. He's one of the best in the game. I was lucky enough to get a pitch over the plate.

Switch-hitting is one of the greatest things in the world and one of the worst things in the world.

We've got four All-Stars in there. You can make a case for all of them. They're all playing really well.

We did have some opportunities because of the errors. We did capitalize on one of them, but their pitching was just too good. Colon is one of the best pitchers in the league and he showed that again against us.
change coming goal momentum next pride season teams winning year
Our goal for this season was to make the playoffs, but if that's not going to happen, then having a winning season would at least be some consolation. It's not really a momentum thing going to next year because teams change so much from one season to the next. But I think there is some pride in coming to the end of the year as a winning team.
answer bend coming ear happy knows leaning roger weeks
I think Roger Clemens knows what he wants. If he's got any questions, we'll be happy to answer them. Hopefully, he's leaning this way ... but I'm not going to go over there and bend his ear for 2 1/2 weeks about coming to play for us.
goals individual mean team unless watching
It doesn't mean that much unless the team wins, ... Individual goals are great, but when I'm watching the playoffs, it won't mean that much.
against best players playing win
I want to win this thing more than anybody. And to be playing against the best players in the world, you want to win even more.
against rest win
I want to win more than anybody. You put us up against the rest of the world, and I'm going to want to win even more.
