last life took turn worse
Burke was able to play today, ... But he took a turn for the worse severely last night. And he's on life support.
ball basically bit couple exception home innings outing threw
I would say he threw pretty good. He's probably a little bit rusty, but still threw pretty good. The first couple innings he was sharp. With the exception of a couple home runs, I thought he threw the ball pretty good. It was basically his first outing of the spring.
days past struggled woods
I would have thought Berkman was out of the woods and would not go back in it. I'm disappointed he's struggled in the past 10 days or so.
deep stew
I would have said, we're in a lot of deep stew here.
liked won
I would have liked to have won it before the 12th. But I'll take it.
bruise guess half knee next ok percent somewhat sort
I guess I could say the bruise is sort of diffused somewhat so he doesn't have a half sized watermelon on his knee now. I feel 100 percent that he will be OK to make his next start.
control game happy lead row turned won
If we had won 10 in a row to get a one-game lead right now, I'd be happy as all get-out. No, I don't like the way that game turned out, but we still control our destiny.
lost tennessee
I don't know, after Tennessee lost yesterday, he's probably a little flat. He's a big Volunteer.
anybody ballgame position
I didn't want to get in position where if you have another extra-inning ballgame you just don't have anybody to use.
bit capital hurt might
I didn't necessarily think it was a big loss. One of my things that I feel is, if you put so much of your capital in any one player, it's going to hurt you in my opinion. So I think it might have been a little bit of a blessing.
control course game turned
I didn't like the way that game turned out, of course not. Still, we control our destiny. We have to play hard, tighten it up a little bit.
anybody balance best exact soon terrific umpires upset
I'd just as soon us do what we do, ... I can get as upset with the umpires as anybody but on balance they do a terrific job. These are our best umpires, and it's not an exact science.
soon
I'd just as soon us do what we do,
soon watch
I'd just as soon not watch them any more, they look pretty good.
