To get this win off of a guy the caliber of Chris Carpenter , it's just a huge win for us. We had timely hits and big nights out of J.J. (Hardy), Overbay, and Billy (Hall).
anytime bunch four kids ninth plate runs winning
We've got a bunch of young kids that have a lot of heart. Anytime you're down four runs and get the winning run to the plate in the ninth you've done something.

Poor Jenkins, he was distraught yesterday. He was having a monster year. We're having fun; we're in the midst of a 10-game winning streak, and he was enjoying himself.

(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.
anybody calling contend labeled last loser louis past playing rather tired trying winning
Playing .500 is the first step. Eventually, we're trying to get to where we can contend with St. Louis for the division. I'd rather have a winning record. We're tired of being labeled a loser for the last 12 years. We want to get past that. We don't want anybody calling us a loser again.

That was a tough play but it was within (Weeks') reach. It's a play, if you're going to win the ball game, that's got to be made.

He'll fit in quite nicely. You can't win without talent and we couldn't pass up the ability to pick up someone with talent and experience, too.

He's going to be a 3, 4, 5 hitter throughout his career. He's not going to sit in the seventh spot. And I don't know if you've noticed lately but we haven't been winning too many games, so something's broke.

We'll see what happens his next start. If he can win his next start then he'll start the last game of the year.

We were happy with the home stand, but when you win the first five you surely want to win the last game.

You just kind of felt that. I turned around and said, 'Prince is going to win it for us right here.' He's too good a player, too good a hitter, to have it go an extended amount of time.
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.
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.

He threw the ball OK, but he got a few pitches up in the strike zone. The wind blowing out didn't help him.
