compete found game good opening win
Any win is a good win, especially on Opening Day, but this is a game where we found a way to win. If we are going to compete this year, that's the kind of game we have to win.
bullpen compete found
The bullpen and J.J. (Jason Jennings) got that win. We just found a way to win. If we're going to compete this year, that's the way we're going to have to win.
good halfway year
It would have been a good year to be halfway decent. Any other year, we're in it right now.

reason
Better be. That's the reason we put up with this year.
fun great guys term
You always want to have the guys you're going to go with long term out there and see how it goes. It was fun to see Hawpe out there, and it was great to see Barmie out there.
team upset
I was upset with myself. But when you let your team down, you want to help.
earlier home
You can get back in there, get to hitting, get to go home earlier and all that stuff,
happens
When it happens to you, it's not that scary. I was all drugged up, so I didn't really know what was going on.
everybody feeds gets guy hitting hot swinging winning worked
It all kind of worked together. That's just the way hitting is. Everybody feeds off each other. One guy gets hot and everybody gets hot. We all started swinging better and we started winning games.
angles face
I wouldn't want to want to face him as a right-handed hitter. He comes at you at too many angles and at too many speeds.
good pitches tried
I got some good pitches to hit, but I tried to do a little too much.
expected good guess
I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good.
I'd kill myself if I wasn't here and we started winning.
