guy looking seeing themselves veterans
We have to get better. It comes down to every guy looking at themselves and seeing how we can get better, from veterans to rookies. There are no excuses. We have to find a way to get it done.
change definitely effort feeling giving guys hard love means return support teammates together year
It means a lot to have the support of your teammates and coaches, and the feeling is definitely mutual, ... I love the guys I play with. We play hard together and we play to win. Obviously, we haven't had the year we've wanted, but that isn't going to change our effort level. With the kind of support they are giving me, I'll return that to them every day.
bat cubs great guy handling job loved pitching playing swinging
He's a great guy and a great player. I loved playing with him. He's a very competitive guy who did a great job handling the pitching staff. He was really swinging the bat well and I think he'll do a great job with the Cubs and have a great year.
bit care dropped expect guy help initially jimmy playing second team time
I expect to play a little bit of both. Initially they told me that I would get my playing time at second base, but then Jimmy Rollins dropped out so I'm the only guy on the roster who can play both. I don't care where I play; I just want to be able to help the team as much as possible.
ball best drive good guys high hitters list speed top
There are so many good hitters, but he's still at the top of the list of the best hitters in the game. We're two different hitters. He's left-handed, I'm right-handed. I try to drive the ball a little more, he relies on speed a little more. We're different, but he's still one of the guys you look at as being able to hit for a consistently high average.
ahead approach base cash finds guy hitting hoping lock maybe mentally notch
If the guy ahead of me is hitting with two outs, I'm really hoping he finds a way to get on base because I want to hit in those situations. I approach it the same way, maybe mentally lock it in a notch higher, but those are the at-bats I really want to cash in on.

again based call concerned currently forward hard high investors money months nations next nine oil prices pricing production seeing several six speaking start time top trading
Our call was based on the next six to nine months where we think that oil pricing is at the top end of its trading range. And speaking about the production cutbacks that you alluded to, we are concerned that the OPEC nations will start to overproduce once again going forward over the next several months because of how high oil prices currently are, ... And we have a hard time seeing how investors are going to make money going forward from these current levels.
child commission diplomacy effective good groups people quiet rights seen
Rights groups think the commission is too tame. On the other side, people think the commission should be a good child and be seen but not heard. They think effective diplomacy is quiet diplomacy.

I think Rodney has been disingenuous about his party all along.
