He helps us in the field. But he helps this team more in the clubhouse, in the hotels, in the bus, in the planes. You look around baseball and one of the people they don't say anything negative about is Jim Thome. They love the way he respects the game and treats his fans and teammates.

He needed that more than anyone else for his confidence. This game is about confidence and believing in yourself. You're always going to struggle in this game, and when you swing better and don't get results, it puts doubts in your mind and that kills you.

Today I was in the clubhouse and we were watching the highlights. You do get goose bumps. But in the meanwhile, you've got to be careful. No matter what you do today, just prepare yourself for tomorrow. Don't get too cocky.
ball balls felt game hit hurt innings mccarthy plan plans ready six talked throw trying week
We talked about this all week and I felt like I let Duque down. I'm not trying to hurt my pitcher's feelings, but we had a plan before the game starts. Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.
We just have to go there like 2006. Not 2005, because 2005 is over.

I just hope they play 20 innings. I hope they play 20 innings and the pitchers get tired, and hopefully we'll take advantage of that.

Before, he tried to pitch and he couldn't keep his breaking ball over the plate. Fastball, his location was pretty poor. Now he's starting to get it together.
