advantage chance couple pay pull
We had a chance a couple of times and we couldn't pull the trigger. When you have an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it or you're going to pay for it.
guys
We have 20 guys in there. They have been inconsistent, way inconsistent. It's going to kill them.
arm attack best confidence everybody game guys kid matter months pitching strikes throw time town win won
Two months ago everybody wanted to kill this kid and get him out of town because he was pitching horrible. Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
happen team time waited
Finally, we make another big step. They have waited a long time for this moment. And this team is making it happen this year.
against bay best city couple doubt expect kansas left lose playing saw tampa team took
I took a couple of peeks up there. Nothing against Kansas City or Tampa Bay, but the way they are playing right now and from what I saw when they left here, I doubt they will lose another game. I don't expect Tampa Bay to do it. I think the best team to do it now is us.
buy ebay guys haircut might money people stuff stupid
I told the guys to get a haircut and put it on eBay -- there might be some money from it. People are so stupid now, they buy stuff that's stupid.

I told them 2005 is over, and we're going to be a target to everyone in baseball.

I told them 2005 is over and 2006 is coming on. Just be ready to play because we are going to be a target for everybody in baseball.
games lost runs score series win
It's not how many runs you score in one game, it is how many games you win in a series and we lost the series.
happy jackie latin lived man people puerto robinson
For me he is the Jackie Robinson of Latin baseball. He lived racism. He was a man who was happy to be not only Puerto Rican, but Latin American. He let people know that. And that is something that is very important for all of us.
help time
It's time to see what he has and if he can help us now in the stretch.
criticize easy happened sudden work
It's not easy when you play or work in one place that many years and all of a sudden you're gone. Because it happened to me before, I'm not going to criticize Frank.
anyone easy manage players type win
It's not easy to manage right now because there are a lot of players making big money, a lot of players with attitudes. The type of players I have in my clubhouse, those are the type of players that anyone can win with.
busy couple easy hours sit teams
It's not easy for us to sit there for a couple hours and go through two teams in one day, but I want to do it (Monday) because (today) will be a busy day for us.
