five guys split
Really, you can split that thing five ways. Those guys were unbelievable.
damage five happy lack last matter skills wish
When he's healthy, even this last year, he was doing damage on one leg. We wish him well and we're happy he's not in our division, so we don't have to see him a lot. Because in the last five years, when he's healthy, he has been doing the job. It has nothing to do with lack of skills or anything. It was just a matter of that injury. So if he's healthy, he is going to do some damage.
baseball change either hope luck playing screw
I just hope it doesn't change either of their luck or our luck, because we were playing OK. You don't want to screw around with the baseball gods.
eight matter matters pattern point runs whether
That's been the pattern all year, ... No matter how many runs we have, whether it's one or eight or nine, we never have a run we didn't need. At this point of the season, it doesn't matter how we won, it just matters we did it.
couple last reverse three time
I'll tell you what, the last three weeks, the reverse of that was happening. There's been a lot of that the last couple weeks. Any time you say up, it was down.
bad baggage best guys last main overcame overcome question rival stuff team teams winning
I don't know if any team ever overcame so much baggage and so much bad stuff and also with their main rival winning so much in the meantime. What those guys did last year, without question in my mind, is the best story, got to be one of the best teams ever to overcome all the stuff they had to overcome,
homer
I didn't think it would be that quick, or on a homer by him.
rode tonight
Garland, we just hopped on his back tonight and just rode him.
both hopefully rule son weekend wife
I don't see it being a problem, ... Hopefully we play well over the weekend and take that to Houston. Because I wouldn't rule out both my wife and son going to Houston.
good view
I'm going to have a good view from the on-deck circle.
aggressive bust energy eventually good kept knew stayed swings taking
I knew we'd eventually bust out. You just never know when it's going to happen. We were taking good swings before that, there was good energy on the bench. We just stayed aggressive and kept swinging.
energy good guys happen hope knew realize today wait
The energy was good today early. I knew we'd be in the game. I hope guys realize that we can't wait for good things to happen and then have energy. You've got to come with it first, and then good things follow.
course five rode starters teams throughout tonight
All five of our starters have been aces throughout the course of the season. I don't know how many teams can say that. Garland, we just hopped on his back tonight and just rode him.
games play guy
Whether he gets hit early or in the middle or late, he gets in his seven innings it seems like every time. There are also great defensive plays made behind him and it's not a coincidence. Guys are in the game. He works quick.
