deal opening
There's nothing better than opening day in any sport, ... It's something you have to deal with.
attention deal enjoyed good road
We enjoyed it; we had a good time. But it's kind of like we had to give a little attention to everyone. Now we're on a road trip, and we don't have to deal with all this stuff. Hopefully, we'll play better.
games lost
We really lost two games where we didn't have a chance.
guys hurt ready stay
When you're hurt physically, you can recover. When it is mental, you don't know when it is going to show up and you don't know when it is going to stay at home. Mentally, we need guys to show up every day. I don't know if he's ready to do that for the team.
everybody games guy players
We have a lot of games to go and not that many players in camp. Everybody will get a legit chance. The guy who can pinch-hit and play once in a while, he will take the job.
gave good great hit home runs team three
We had great players, but we were not a great team (in 2004). We hit more home runs than anybody, but we gave up more home runs than anybody. We could not play defense, we could not pitch, we could not execute. You don't do those three things in baseball, good luck.
grab team
We have to have someone grab this team by the neck, by the horns, and take charge.
bullpen good great pitching series starting winning
We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.
drives four hero manager needs runs somebody step tonight
We're up by four runs and then we're up by one run. It drives the manager crazy. Rowand had a big night. From now on somebody needs to step up and be a hero every game. Tonight it was Rowand.
clutch good last pitching
That's the way we play, good defense, good pitching and get clutch hitting. That's what we did last season.
kinds people playing
That's the way people should be playing baseball, play hard. I like those kinds of games.
people
That's the way people have to play the game,
balls carry
I was pretty impressed. The balls don't carry here much.
comment embarrass leave leaving win
My comment was if we win (the World Series), I will think about leaving because I want to leave as a winner. I don't want to embarrass myself.
