ball believe built fine giving home leaving lose plate sudden worried
I was kind of worried about him leaving the ball around the plate and giving up a home run, and all of a sudden he'd lose everything he built for the whole game. He said he was fine and I believe my pitchers.
again best forget frank gives good hitters jim last miss paper start team worried
I really like our team right now. Frank was Frank, and we're going to miss him, but Jim Thome is one of the best hitters in baseball. He's healthy, so we're not worried about last year. It gives us a better team on paper than we had last year, but we're not worried about paper. We have to start over, forget all about 2005, and do the same things again that made us a good team last year.

They are the type of team you don't want in the playoff because they can get hot and kill you. I don't want to say it's a great feeling because I respect the manager and the players over there, but I have been worried about them all summer.

The only thing I see, I just put my head down to the right and he was running to the base. All of a sudden I see A.J. running and I'm confused, I don't know what's going on. When someone said the ball hit the dirt and then I saw him running and that's it.

ball garland good home pay run runs three threw
When you have opportunities and you don't take advantage, you're going to pay for it. I think it was a pretty good ballgame. Garland threw the ball pretty good, Cotts and Politte threw the ball real good. It was just a home run in that inning. Three home runs killed us.

We've got to approach the game the same way. You win the World Series, that was last year. We've got to approach the game the same way we did in the past and not believe the hype.

There has been a lot of pressure, but every day, I've come to the ballpark with the same enthusiasm, the same face, the same attitude, ... If I don't, the players will look and me and say, 'Uh-oh, what's happening here?'
