control good simple win
We've got to buckle down and play some good ball. We're still in control of our own desitny. If we can't win it, we can't win it. It's simple as that.
across couple fighting good job looked run turn win
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.
chance win
We had a chance to win this ballgame,
ballgame chance failed hit jason lane top win
We had a chance to win the ballgame when we had the top of our lineup up, but couldn't, ... We had every chance to win but failed to put the ball in play. Jason Lane was the only one to hit the ball hard.
assess games goal win
This was a big win for us. But our goal is to get 15 games over .500 and then assess where we are.
ball figure win
you figure out a way to come out and try to win a ball game.
best fans goal includes losers though winners
Even though we didn't get the one big goal that we wanted, there are no losers here. We are all winners ? and that includes the best fans in America.
break guys runs win
We had some other opportunities and couldn't break through. When your big guys go to the mound, you've got to win them. We just didn't put enough runs on the board.
drive good needed runs win
(Sheets) was good but we have to win these games. We just didn't drive in the runs when we needed them.
good guys hits win worst
We need them in the worst way, and we need to win them in a pretty good fashion, too. These guys have come in here. They've come up with the big hits when they need them. They look like they're comfortable, and we need to put something in their heads, make them think about us a little bit.
difficult games rest win year
I think it's going to be difficult because (Clemens) will probably win the rest of the games this year (and) that's going to tighten it up,
both certainly critical field game glad good imagine line lose sides somebody win
I can't imagine a better game with as much on the line as this game and to have performances on both sides of the field that were as critical and as good as they were. It was unfortunate that somebody had to win or had to lose this game. I'm certainly glad we won.
games saw stage stepped super tonight took trouble unusual winning
What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. This was a big stage and we've had trouble winning games in this park. He stepped up, and took control, and did a super job.
fine great hear himself job naturally pitchers rocket roy winner wonderful
He's a second-time 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. Roy himself is not a self-promoter. He's very laid-back. He's very comfortable being in the back room. You have great personalities like the Rocket (Roger Clemens) and (Andy) Pettitte, who have done some wonderful things, so I think (the attention) naturally gravitates in their direction. But Roy has done a fine job for us and he's going to go down as one of the great pitchers in this decade.
