almost both definitely deserve feels game games good image last losses matched mirror pitch scratch tonight week win
It was almost a mirror image of last week's game when they matched up. Last week they got the win and tonight we were able to scratch out a win for Bush. To pitch the way he pitched in both the last two games he definitely didn't deserve to get two losses for it. It feels good to give him the win and good for our club.
bats boston wild
Boston has the bats going, but the wild card, I have no idea.
farther last middle order
We've got a big middle of the order now. It stretches out a little farther than it did last year.
almost game hit homer image last lee mirror ninth
Tonight's game was almost a mirror image of last week's game (when Tampa's Derek Lee hit a two-run homer off Batista in the ninth to give the D-Rays a 3-2 victory),
airport dresses people sure toronto wear
We had to go through the Toronto airport and wear our dresses to The Plaza, ... People were laughing. I'm sure they had an idea of what was going on.
game panic reach sixty time
Sixty or 70 at-bats is no time to reach for the panic button, because this is a game of cycles.
chat fun goes good help knows listen plus seeing taking talking
I think having him around has been a big plus for us, because he knows what he's talking about and he's fun to listen to. It's good to have him here. Taking groundballs with him and seeing how he goes about his business, then getting to chat with him. It does nothing but help us as young players.
commitment far hit looking moves nose pressure run team type
I think this is the type of off-season that they were looking to have. I think that they hit it right on the nose as far as what they were looking to do. You got your own expectations for yourself as well and when you make those kind of moves and when the organization makes that commitment to try and make your team a lot better, you've got to kind of take that pressure and run with it.
messing tired
I was just tired of messing with my hair.
damage hit worried
It hit me good. I was a little worried that it was going to be sore. But there really wasn't any real damage to it. It's going to be fine.
ball feet gets good position quick reasons rid talk
We talk about footwork more than anything -- getting your feet in position to throw. He gets rid of the ball really quick and I think that's one of the reasons why, because his feet are always in a good position.
against confidence good mound rolling
He's got good stuff. You can see his confidence is rising. It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling and we couldn't do much against him.
afraid confidence good throw
He (Kazmir) has good stuff. You can see when his confidence is rising. He's not afraid to throw the off-speed. It was good to get him off the mound. He was rolling.
paid practice repetition talk techniques work
He doesn't talk as much as (Hudson) did. But it's all really the same techniques we're using. It's all about repetition and getting to know each other. We're out there every day before and after practice getting our work in and the work has paid off.
