bit given hope judge man people respect stands turn win
I respect every bit who Trammell is and what he stands for, ... and I hope that respect is always given by the people of Detroit. There's times we didn't win and people started to turn a little bit, but you always judge a man by his character.
hopefully later situation year
It's a two-way street. Later in the year if there's another situation like that, hopefully he'll have that same kind of approach. We're getting to know each other here.
coming disbelief laugh losses season short year
This year, coming up so short of what we wanted to be, it's kind of a deflated feeling, ... You're in disbelief of how the season has come to this point. I know I am. If you had told me I'd have 15 losses at the end of the year before the season starts, I'd laugh at you.

The defense is what makes our pitching work, and they did a great job.

I think I had life on my pitches -- I wasn't throwing beach balls up there, ... I don't think I'm tired.

I thought I pitched well today, except for the home runs.

I thought I had pitched well enough to win some of those games, ... Tonight, I made pitches when I needed them, and the defense made the plays.

I threw three straight changeups to Boone, then a fastball inside and he turned on it. That club is doing all the things right, right now.
