against ball bat care decent few good job pitches swinging team threw
We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see, ... Brandon (Backe) threw the ball well. He had a lot of good pitches and only a few mistakes. That was a decent job against a team that is really swinging the bat well.
against bottom good job line missed pitches pitching zone
We missed some pitches that we should have hit, and we expanded the (strike) zone sometimes when we probably shouldn't have. But the bottom line is they did a pretty good job of pitching against us.
against games good milwaukee three took worries
What worries me is that we've had three games that are stinkers. We didn't look good against Milwaukee and we didn't look good tonight. They pretty much took it to us tonight.
against ball changing good hits job pitching sharp team
I don't think he was as sharp as he's going to be, but for pitching against a team that hits the ball well, he battled through it. He did a good job of changing things.
against bottom good job line pitching
But the bottom line is they did a pretty good job of pitching against us.
against bat elevate guy head means throws
My bat head was there, which means I can get to the pitch. But against a guy who throws that hard, you need to get your bat down because you can't elevate the pitch.
against anyway felt fine given might morris mosquito tonight
It's very small. It's like a mosquito bite, is the way it was described. Mo said he felt great, no pain, no fatigue, no nothing. He's fine to play, but I might have given him tonight off anyway against (Matt) Morris .
against champions deserve played year
They played well all year long. They played well against us. They deserve to be world champions this year.
against bats couple decent good home leading league pitches run team though
He made a lot of real good pitches and only made a couple of mistakes, even though the home run to Delgado wasn't a mistake. He made a real good pitch. I thought he did a decent job, especially against a team that has some real good bats and is leading the league in hitting.
against becomes matters
If you play well against the division, that makes matters a whole lot better, and that's why it becomes critical.
against chicago deserve phenomenal played white year
I congratulate the Chicago White Sox. They had a phenomenal year. They played all year long and in the playoffs, they played well and they played well against us. They deserve to be called World Champions.
against games good
I like him. I think he's going to be a real good pitcher. He's pitched two real good games against us.

These guys are tough, I'm telling you. I don't recall any easy games against them. But we'll take it because it was important.

We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see.
