best obviously perform played supposed team
They obviously played better today, but I feel we're the best team in the tournament. Unfortunately, we didn't perform the way we're supposed to perform, and that's why we're out.
best good great order player
In order to be a good player, you have to have that kind of mentality. He's not a good player, he's a great player -- the best player.
best chance coming crew main reason rest
That's the only reason why I am here and the only reason the rest of the crew is here. It's an honor, especially coming from the Dominican Republic, where our main sport is baseball. We want to be the best in the world, and this is our chance to do it.
bat best extra fourth game hate kids question three tries
He always tries to do what's best for the team. No question about that. I hate to take him out of the game and have one of the kids bat fourth in a late-inning situation. You don't want a young kid to come up three times in extra innings.
challenge somebody sure takes until
I'm sure someone is going to try to challenge him at the beginning, ... until he takes somebody deep, and that'll be it. It'll be back to the same old pitch-around, walk-him situation.
advantage bonds learning
I'm learning not to get so angry. Bonds is going to get a lot of walks. I have to take advantage of those opportunities.
change follow happy plans played player players playing ready routines time wish year
I'm not happy about the time of year we're playing the WBC. It's going to make me change my plans to get ready for the season, especially a player like me, who's played 15 years, and players who have routines we follow every spring. I wish we played after the World Series.
forgot six
I've got no interest. Really, I forgot about that. But I know I need six for 300. I'll take that one.
barry feels field perform performed ready walks whenever
To me, he can get here whenever he feels he is ready because whenever he walks into this field he'll perform the way Barry has performed all of the time.
closer time
We need to get closer by the time we get there.
either
Either he got lucky, or we (stink). Or he pitched well.
coming forward good healthy looking next played seasons year
This year has been frustrating because I was coming off back-to-back seasons when I was injury-free and played a lot. Every year I've been healthy and had over 500 at-bats, it's been a good year. That's what I'm looking forward to next year.
bad picture team
Every team I have been with has been close, real close. You don't see that here and I can't even picture it happening; this is how bad it is.
barry bat circumstance good guy injuries last ray until
No question, Ray was a leadoff guy until last year, because of circumstances -- injuries to Barry and Mo. I would like him to be the leadoff guy, but Winn is a pretty good one, too, and Omar is, too, but he prefers to bat second.
