bats certainly driving gone good guys offensive problem weeks zone
We're just not getting guys on base, and we're certainly not driving them in when we do. Everybody's frustrated. We've gone two weeks now without really much of an offensive threat. The real problem is that we're not getting the bats in the zone very good right now.
bats certainly eight enjoying runs swinging
We have been swinging the bats very well. I don't know if we're going to be able to put up eight or 13 runs every day during the season, but certainly I'm enjoying it right now.
bats good happen night pitch roy swinging
They were swinging the bats pretty good and it didn't look like things were going to happen with a big night offensively. So Roy had to pitch well, and he did. So did Brad.
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.
bat bats good hate swinging wait
When they're swinging the bats as good as they are, you hate to give them a day. You want to give them a day when they're not swinging the bat good. When you're swinging the bat good, you can't wait to get to the ballpark.
bats took
He just took our bats and shoved them up our bat racks.

I don't know how much of that was their pitching today and how much was we didn't get the bats on the ball,
ball base good job less putting runner third
When we got a runner at third base and less than two outs, we didn't do a very good job of putting the ball in play.
ball five guy hurt last six struck third
What hurt was, we struck out for five of the last six outs, ... We didn't put the ball in play, and we had a guy on third base. And that's what hurt us.
ball singles win
We got two two-out singles from Berkman to win the ball game.
general leave
We're going to leave that to our general manager. Sure, I'd like to have Clemens back.
couple days fool fortunate ground inventory last lose nice personal pick streak time
We're going to have to take a personal inventory as a team. This is September, and this is no time to fool around. We need to pick it up a little bit. It is fortunate to lose two ballgames the last couple of days after having a nice streak and not lose any ground to the leaders.

We're going to have to take a personal inventory as a team,
