accomplish best found great group guys taken talented ways win
Those guys should be proud, for what they had to do to accomplish that. They started out with a great team, a very talented group of kids. By the end, we had taken all their best players, and they still persevered through it and found ways to win a championship.
sound
I don't think we're as fundamentally sound as they are yet, offensively or defensively.
I don't think you'd see that in too many other cities.
people three waiting
I don't know why people want to think it's a curse. We've been waiting three years for this.
lights ready special
Carlos is one of those special guys. When the lights go on, he's ready to go.
bit ended evident help hit instead putting runners runs score struggled struggling takes team three walks
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning.
afford runners struggled struggling
Capuano had too many walks. We have been struggling to get runs, and we just can't afford to put runners on base. He just struggled all day long.
against behind fell glad good stuff win
(Cappy) had pretty good stuff but he fell back behind and you can't do that against St.Louis. We're glad we could get the win for him.
good pitching track turn
But those things all turn around. Our pitching will get back on track and we'll be in good shape.
anybody call finish game labeled loser matter tired ultimately
But that's just a start, it's not where we ultimately want to be. I'm tired of being labeled a loser for 12 years. If you lose one more game than you win, then that's what you are. It doesn't matter where you finish (in the division). I don't want anybody to call us a loser again.
emphasis gets head stress
If we put a lot of stress and emphasis on it, then, at times, it gets into your head a little bit.
emphasis head stress
If we put a lot of stress and emphasis on it, it will probably get in his head a little. But it's not a problem. It's not a concern. We'll keep working through it.
crushed far
I don't have any idea how far it went but he crushed it.
feet felt good kane pitch preserve trying
I didn't want to get (Wise) in with everything on the line. I wanted him to be able to get his feet back on the ground. I felt good with Kane Davis, ... We're doing everything we can to preserve a one-run lead. We're just trying to get to Turnbow. We were one pitch away.
