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.
good player
I know there's a pretty good player at first base.
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.
ability amazing came deficits felt mentally nine resilience team
Feel it? It is one of the more amazing things I've felt here. It's the resilience and the ability mentally for the team not to fold. They come back from deficits that where I came from (Oakland) they'd say let's get through nine and look for tomorrow.
confidence dugout fear
There's just a confidence in the dugout right now. It's not a fear of losing, it's, 'We're going to win.
conditions nice team tomorrow
It would have been nice to win, but that's the way it goes. At this place, the way that team battles, it's very tough. The conditions were very bad, but we battled them all night. We just have to take that play into tomorrow night.
series wish
The whole series was tough. When I look back on things, yeah, I wish they were different.
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.
faced game good great pitch sheets stay sustain
Offensively, it's just not something you can sustain for long periods. You need some help. Sheets - I don't think I've ever faced him, and boy, you're going to have to pitch good just to stay in the game with him and Bronson was just awesome. It was a great battle.
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.
kept needed plays stay
It was tough. There were some plays we needed to make that would have kept us out of some of those big innings. You've got to stay away from them, especially in this ballpark.
billy couple good guys hudson opportunity paid quality saw start surprised traded year
Mulder surprised me more than Hudson. I wasn't surprised that Hudson got traded because we only had him for a year more. We had Mulder for a couple more. Billy is not one to have a couple good years and then completely start over. He saw an opportunity to get some quality guys and he jumped on it. It's really paid off. It's pretty amazing.
hit last physically toll took wall
I feel fresh, I feel strong. Last year, I hit a wall physically and it took a toll at the plate. This year, I feel good.
area fairy
It's fairy tale-like, the way things are going. We're in an area that's uncharted.
