boos joke loud
The joke was, how loud are the boos going to be if he didn't play today,
ability average batting dimensions everybody field hits hitter opposite power sneaks uses
I think my power sneaks up on me as well as everybody else, ... I've always been a hitter that uses the whole field and hits for batting average with the dimensions here. My ability to go the opposite way has been a benefit.
affected anybody became changed coached feeling good great guy hurt match pick placing top touch wrestling
That hurt, that changed the match and it affected the way he wrestled. He didn't feel like he could pick Neal up. Neal is very good on his feet. The way Brett was wrestling on Friday, I didn't think anybody would touch him, but it's a great feeling. It's a great feeling for me as a coach. He's the first guy I coached who became an All-American (by placing in the top three).
bit caused club fit good hitter houston left middle million next physical switch though tools whether
Bagwell doesn't have much left -- only $15 million US on next year's contract. I don't know whether Houston will use him here or go with Berkman. Everett's a very good hitter even though his physical tools have diminished. He's a switch hitter who is a good fit in the middle of their lineup. And he hasn't caused the club one bit of trouble.

The road is very hazardous. The ditches on each side are very deep and the road is extremely narrow. I guess it's gonna add some hassle for us but it will be better in the end.
matter missed
That stat doesn't matter when you're winning. If you lose, you go back and think about the missed opportunities. But when you're winning, it just doesn't matter.
looked third took
I took a peek, ... He looked like he was going back to third base.
beaten constant series shut struggle team
It's been a constant struggle. We started so bad. We were shut out so many times. We got beaten up early. You see this team in the World Series and say, 'How did it happen?' But here we are.
next resilient shut teams whether win
This is one of the most resilient teams I've been on. Whether we get shut out, whether we lose, whether we win this team the next day, it doesn't faze them,

Run in packs. That's the thing to do.
