business care focus games relief rest talk totally winning
The only sense of relief is that I don't have to talk about it. My focus here is totally on winning games and it always has been. I've always thought that if you take care of your business, then the rest of the business will take care of itself.
good seen
Tommy was vintage. He was as good as I've seen him in a long time.
bench confusion count five four home sit
You don't really sit there and count them down. There was some confusion on the bench if there were four or five home runs.
against best compete count finds five great pitcher roger runs scoring stuff time ways
You don't really count on scoring five runs against Roger Clemens. He didn't have great stuff but the thing about that kind of pitcher is that he finds ways to compete even when he doesn't have his best stuff. Any time you beat, you've done something.

To beat a pitcher the caliber of Tim Hudson is a big boost for us. This is what good teams do.

awesome both came games great pitch
Those kind of games come down to one big hit. Helling and Oswalt both pitched outstanding, and then Lidge came in and did an awesome job. Dana battled to get two outs and then got a pitch up to Bagwell and that was it. It was a great game.
ability athletic balls good looked playing
You'd like him to get as many balls as he can, to get used to playing the position. He looked good out there. He's going to be fine. He's got the athletic ability to be a good outfielder.

We're not going to do anything stupid. We want Benny for the long haul.

ben defense games healthy last league minor month national pick puts sheets surely won
We didn't have a healthy Ben Sheets and we were last in defense in the National League and still won 81 games last year. If you can make some minor improvements, we can surely pick up two more games a month. Two more games a month puts you in the 90- to 93-win range. Can we pick up two more games a month and do what we did last year? I've got to think that we can.
definitely improved looks
They've definitely improved their bullpen. It looks real solid.

They've been playing great since they got here. A huge part of what makes this so exciting is watching those kids get an opportunity and do well with it.
