faced good help opened pitcher playing quality
It's opened some things up for my playing time, personally. And I think getting (Bronson) Arroyo here - I've faced him a lot and he's a quality pitcher who will help out a lot. It's a good thing.
area fairy
It's fairy tale-like, the way things are going. We're in an area that's uncharted.
bounce bunch good hall hearing record
It was good to see us bounce back, ... You look at them, a bunch of Hall of Famers and All-Stars, and they're phenomenal. We've been hearing about that all year, but you get into September, and we've got the same record as them.
darn good win
It's a good win today, not a must-win but pretty darn important. The little things are something we've really got to do consistently.
flown guys learning
We've got a lot of young guys who have really flown up the learning curve.
built buy certain credit fill general guys managers teams
You really have to look at the development part of the organization. A lot of teams just go out and buy players, and this team is built from within. You have got to give general managers credit for getting certain guys to fill holes, and then you are able to compete.
places played stretch toughest
This is probably the toughest seven-day stretch of our year, in two places we haven't played real well. So we really need to buckle down and play as well as we can.
balls left maybe miss pitchers plate saw
I saw (the ball) pretty good. Maybe he left some balls over the plate that he probably didn't place where he wanted to. But pitchers are going to do that. You've just got to not miss it when they do.
along came lesser nervous taking thrilled
I was a little - I wouldn't say nervous - but kind of disappointed that the opportunities I thought I was going to have weren't there. I was considering taking lesser jobs, and this came along and I can't tell you how thrilled I was.
amazing coming expected looking team training
Looking back, it's amazing where we're at. Considering that, this is the team we expected to have coming out of training camp.
however jerry mix wherever
I'll try to mix in wherever I can. That's going to be up to Jerry and the guys. I'll be ready, however they want me.
final four hoped legitimate rookie year
I know it (this final week) is not going as we'd hoped ... but it's been pretty miraculous. We've got four Rookie of the Year candidates, legitimate ones. That's just shocking.
beat few huge needed pitching runs
He's very, very good, and we got a few runs off him, but our pitching was huge for us tonight. We needed that if we were going to beat him.
deal hard manager pain ups
He's a pretty even-keeled guy. That helps, especially this year. It's hard enough when you are going through all the ups and downs. If you have to deal with that and a manager who's up and down, that's more of a pain than you need.
