bullpen hopefully looks situations
Our bullpen looks like they need to be in those situations a little more, and hopefully we'll get them in there.
pride three
Right now, pride can go out the window. It's about winning. I've had his back for three years.
ball barely bothered hardly knew walk wear
It didn't look good. He could barely walk and he told me the brace really bothered him. You never knew if he was going to wear that brace all the time or if he was going to get out of it. He was killing the ball at the plate, but he could hardly get to first base.
against feels game hat last ownership players tip trying
I tip my hat to him. I'm not trying to go against ownership or anything like that, but I've always said that players should get as much as they can in this game - because it doesn't last that long. I say congratulations to him, and now let's play baseball. That's the way he feels too.
baseball everybody exciting huge saw team
I think you saw a pretty exciting baseball team out there. We got some huge hits, big hits, and a huge inning that everybody was a part of.
guy road runs struggled thirteen
I think the correlation that, 'Well, we really struggled on the road without this guy and that guy' ? that's so sad. We scored how many runs in Toronto? Thirteen runs? What, was (Oliva) on the phone?
I thought we pitched well enough to win, but we didn't get it done offensively. We've got hitters. We're just not clicking.
baker tough
I thought we pitched well enough to win. Baker battled through some tough jams and made some big pitches, but we didn't get it done offensively.
anywhere flip four games guys health played top worth
I think we're fine. Health-wise we're not where we need to be. We're 7-11 and played without our top two guys (Shannon Stewart and Luis Castillo) for four games now. ... Of course, we haven't played worth a flip on the road, and that's what's disturbing. You're not going to get anywhere doing that.
came hit lefty
I think we only hit one or two hard, and then the big lefty Sisco came in and that was that.
gives looking nice
It gives us those 82 wins, which is what everyone was looking for. It's not enough for us, but it's nice for the organization.
believe couple days few gave options players puck talked tough
It has been a tough couple of days and all we can do is go out and try to play baseball. We know that the Puck-man would want us to go out and do this for him. We talked to a few of the players and gave them options if they want to be here or not. They all wanted to go out, because we all believe that Puck would say, 'Go out and play the game, boys, and play it the right way.' And that's what we're going to try to do.
face good guy hopefully kenny likes lost needs ready rogers sat start step
Kenny Rogers is not the guy he likes to face very often, so we sat him out. But he was ready to play. We've lost a lot of people, and Jacque is one guy who needs to step up.... Hopefully that's a good start for him to get on a roll.
afraid guys start
I wouldn't be afraid to start any of those guys on Tuesday.
