angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.

We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It must have been about six or seven inches long. It took a while for someone from the grounds crew to come get it, put it in a box and take it away.

decision pitches sitting sixth wondering
Did he have no-hit stuff? Yeah, I think so. I was sitting there in the sixth wondering how many pitches to let him go for a no-hitter. He's young and big and strong, and he had only 83 going into the seventh. ... I'd have let him go 130 pitches. I'd like to have had that decision to make.

anytime compliments dan few good phony rarely talks ultimate walks wilson worse
When I say Dan Wilson is one of the good guys, for me, that's the ultimate compliment. Very few of us, in all walks of life, rarely say and do the same thing. There's nothing phony about Dan Wilson. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Anytime someone like that leaves, we're all worse off for it.

We had a coach who was with Albert at every level Albert went. He was Albert's babysitter, for lack of a better word. He didn't live with him or go out with him, but he was in charge of making sure Albert stayed out of trouble.

You guys asked me before if he was awestruck with the Yankees, and I tried to downplay that. I don't know he was awestruck, but he was terribly excited. He was flying open. Bad. He couldn't find command of his pitches.

We hit the ball pretty decently today, but right at people. Just like last night.

We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's what our medical people told me. Anyway, he's fine.
