We've had this stretch before, and we've bounced right back. The difference is, there's a lot more riding right now. We've just got to dig deep, keep plugging along and see what happens.
brings close fans good great interact last looks problems seats
It's so fan-friendly. It looks nice, it's a great idea. From last year, I know there were a lot of problems in the upper deck, and I don't know how good those seats could even be. This brings the fans close to the field, and we'll be able to interact more with them.
biggest happen time
The biggest thing is that there are no more excuses. We can't say we don't know what's going to happen -- we've been through it once. Now it's time to go to work.
couple seat top
I had so many things going through my head, ... To be able to come out on top is nice, being able to get a couple hits. Now she has a front-row seat at every game.
clutch excited form hits imagined opportunity
I never imagined this when the day started and I wasn't playing, ... I was excited to get the opportunity in that spot. We got so many clutch hits that we needed, especially form our big guys, Kotsay and Chavez.
ball dictate gives great hit huge left nice pitch players sign swinging
That's a huge sign for me, when I hit the ball out to left field. That gives me a lot of confidence. You just let the pitch dictate what you do. That's something you never see the great players do, over-swing -- I do that, I over-swing. Tonight, I didn't feel like I was swinging hard, just nice and easy.

First one, man, but it's hard to enjoy it when you lose the game. It got us back in the game and I thought there was some momentum shift. I know I was excited.
ball blink bring few game heard past people select struck throw time tough
You blink and it's in the mitt. He struck me out with a 101-m.p.h. fastball. I didn't really see it. I kind of heard it whiz right past me. Very select few people can throw the ball that hard. He's going to be a tough one. You're going to have to bring your 'A' game every time you see him.
baseball left stake stretch
We've had this kind of stretch before and bounced back. There's just a little more at stake right now. There's still a lot of baseball left and we know how to come from behind.

D.J. can flat-out hit, holy smokes. I'm looking for big things from him.

I've been here for a couple weeks. I've been too excited to get back at it, man. Spring Training couldn't start soon enough for me.

The way things have been going, to pull off a win like this gives us momentum and confidence. The way it happened was cool.
check comeback ellis mark name people television turn win
No one ever thought Mark Ellis could do this. He's a name to be remembered. If people don't know who he is, turn on the television and check him out. If he doesn't win comeback player, that's ridiculous.

People were yelling and all of a sudden I heard them. I figured it was time to go.
