bullpen close experience guys knows mccarthy playoffs rookie six
(If) I put McCarthy there, I have six guys with no experience in the playoffs in the bullpen and now a rookie to close the game. El Duque knows about the playoffs.
continue entire game good might named week
If I named all that I'm disappointed about, we might be here all day. The entire week was disappointing. Even the game we won, I was disappointed. If we continue to play like this, good luck.
deserves handle man obviously
I feel for him. I think this man deserves to be there; obviously he's not. Hopefully, Minnie will know how to handle this and keep working for baseball.
wish
I feel embarrassed, I feel guilty. I wish I had not said it the way it sounds.
booing doubts fun games lead obviously people release second takes win
I feel proud. It's not like I'm criticizing the people that were booing because when you go from a 15-game lead to one or two, obviously they do it. But when you win that many games and people keep criticizing and criticizing, second doubts and second guessing, it takes the fun away from the people. To me this is a release and a satisfaction.
spring
I did it because we had a bullfight one day, and I didn't want to go to spring training. I got all the excuses.
bat help swing team
We have a better bench, a better rotation, and having Thome swing the bat the way he is now, he'll really help our team. But when you win the world championship, you can't say this team is better. That's not fair.

We cannot relax. We have to fight all the way to the end. We have (six) games against Cleveland at the end of the season. It's not over until it's over.
pitch
We were one pitch to get out of the inning, and we didn't get it done.
holds hope pitcher starting tremendous
You hope your starting pitcher holds on. Jose did a tremendous job. He just went out and pitched.
best deal easy hurting prepared sure
You have to live with it, and deal with it. I know it is not going to be easy to make that change, but he has to be prepared every day to perform. We are going to do the best we can to make sure we get the best out of him without hurting him.
likes whoever
When you make the lineup, whoever likes it or whoever doesn't, too bad. If he doesn't like it, go home.
best bring charlotte help leagues minor ready team
We have to bring the best from the minor leagues to help this team play, ... If they're not ready to play, then they'll have to go back to (Triple-A) Charlotte to learn.
call condition good park wait
The park wasn't in good condition to play. To wait that long wasn't good. It was the right thing to call the game.
