players
Listen, I know what players we had in the past. I don't want those players anymore.
goes pitcher pitching sets
Like I say every day, I think the pitching sets the tone. When you've got a pitcher go there and do what Jose did today, I think everything goes perfectly.
kid men plays reason risk second solid thinking third
I was thinking we'd have men on second and third and one out. There was a lot of risk ... But this kid is a real solid second baseman. That is one reason he plays every day.
base batteries charges couple games gets league looked minor saw
I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.
leave opportunity pick win
I say this because I want to win it here. It would give me the opportunity to pick what I want to do. I didn't say I'd leave baseball. I can't live without baseball.
ideas ideology liked matter
I said I liked Chavez, but with some ideology and ideas I don't agree, ... It doesn't matter to me what they think. Why not say that I like the president?
against earlier heart runs score
I said earlier in the day that when we score first, we have a chance. But when you play against that team, if you're up by 6 runs your heart is still pumping.
believe forget game pains soon tired
I said before the game that I didn't believe (the Angels) were going to be tired. As soon as you put on the uniform, you forget about the pains and how tired you are.
built couple four good pitching score weeks
I said a couple weeks ago that if we score four runs, we should win. That's the way we built our team. We have a good pitching staff. That's our game, pitching and defense.
kids meet pleasure seen
I said, 'It's a pleasure to meet you, sir. I told him, 'I've never seen you play, but my kids told me you were real good.
banner enjoyed great opening seeing special
Opening day was very special to me. Seeing that championship banner unveiled was a great, great experience, something I really enjoyed and I will never forget.
people seen
People are going to be surprised. He's going to do a lot of things people have never seen him do.
brought city fans great negativity past people proud smile team waited
People are really excited, and they should be. It's great for the city and great for the fans who have waited so many years. We've brought this little smile back to their faces. They feel proud about this team because there have been a lot of disappointing years in the past and a lot of negativity about us and this organization.
jamie tough
Jamie can be tough on a lot of guys. It allows me to use my bench, but he can just be tough on hitters. Look at the numbers.
