against best ended happy impossible looked matching roger throughout
(Davis) was happy about it. Matching up against Roger Clemens it looked like an impossible task. Really Doug labored throughout the whole game. He didn't have his best stuff. He ended up getting through it.
ben good great matched performance pitch sharp stayed tonight
They got a great performance out of Arroyo. He was very sharp and stayed on the attack. Ben was good tonight but Arroyo matched him pitch for pitch.
bothered grew himself match others
He grew up in this atmosphere. So the expectations others had for him have never bothered him because they can't match those that he's had for himself for a long time.
dead great match pitcher pitches seems
He was dead on. It just seems like when he pitches we match up with a pitcher who has a great day.
fastball hard throwing
Tomo was very crisp today. He was sharp, he was throwing his fastball as hard as he has all year.
shot
We're going to give this a shot, and a shot is not one day.
We're doing a lot of little things right. We're getting some breaks, too.

We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
benny happen hate injuries key pack pick slack
We're not going to pack up and die. Key injuries happen to every team. I hate it for Benny and the team, but you have to pick up the slack and go.

We're starting to get there. They know that by no means we're not there yet. They've got a lot of lessons to learn and there's a lot of experience to be gained, but they like where we're at.
consistent looking offense runs score top trying
We're looking for a little more offense at the top of the lineup now. We're trying to find a way to score some runs on a consistent basis.
battle behind continue either fall far mark race time trying
There are things we're still trying to accomplish. The .500 mark is one of them, and to continue to battle in the wild-card race is one of them. You can't fall too far behind in either one of those at this time of year.
hit runner scoring spot though
The only way he doesn't go out is if we get to his spot and there's a runner in scoring position, ... Then I probably would have hit for him, even though he was 2 for 2.
bases picking playing running third
We're playing pretty sound, fundamentally. We're going from first to third when we need to. We're picking up big runs. We're running the bases good. We're doing a lot of little things right.
