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.

baseball longer maybe needs played reason
I think the only sport that really needs it is football. Baseball has been played for 100 years, maybe longer than that. They don't have it, and I don't know the reason to do it now.

best doubt games mirror nine pitching runs score staff
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.
cocky last rub year
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way.
count four gave guys nice walk
When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on.
