ball blown both brad couple gets given lead location though throwing wants
Both will get on track. Even though Brad has given up the lead and blown a couple of saves, I think he's throwing the ball pretty well. When he gets his location where he wants it to be, he's going to be fine.
ballgame chance couple crossed drive hitters squeeze win
The thought of a squeeze crossed my mind, but you think he's one our better hitters and you want him to have a chance to win the ballgame and drive in a couple of runs.

That's unbelievable. That's what St. Louis has done so well the last couple of years. They seem to have played real well in our division.
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.

Chris got more big hits. That triple was an icebreaker. We've been trying to find some way to generate offence the past couple of weeks, done whatever we can.

When you look back, there were a couple of points during the game where it could have gotten real close. It turned out OK, but I thought it was going to be real easy.

We had a couple of chances. We couldn't get a run across the plate, but we got back in the ballgame. We did a good job fighting to get back into the ballgame. It looked like we were going to turn it and win it.

We had a chance to break through in the first couple of innings, then he settled down. You've got to get to him early, before he gets in a groove. That's what happened to us. He got in a groove.

You think it looks pretty good. A couple of innings later, it didn't look so good.
bunch couple expect nor offensive pitching supposed surprise
It was supposed to be a pitching series. It wasn't that at all; it was very much an offensive series. You just don't know what to expect sometimes. So, it wouldn't surprise me if we see a bunch of 2-1, 3-2 ballgames. Nor would it surprise me to see a couple of eight- or nine-run games.
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.
basically couple ready
We're basically ready to go. We just have to make a couple decisions.
along couple course easy games hill job nice plays shown terrific
I think Willy has shown us that he can play in these big games all along the course of the season. He's come up big for us, and he's made a couple of really nice plays in the hill out there, but that was not an easy play (to end the eighth) and he did a terrific job on that.
