good left
When we've been in some kind of adversity, and we've had to go left or right or up or down, it's been good for us. Hopefully, it will be good for us today. It's better to think that than the other.
beat bet four good hand hope regular saw throw win
Well, I bet if they had their hand on a bible, they'll tell you they don't think we're really good because they beat us four out of seven, so I hope we throw out the regular season. We saw them play well, and they play well enough to win a championship, and that's really what counts. They're in the tournament.
almost believe best create feeling personal plan played reason won year
To me, 2002 was so personal and emotional. I believe that you create your own destiny, but it was almost like there was a plan for us. I don't feel that this time. I feel this is more normal. The reason we've won is because we've played the best. If we play the best in the postseason, we should win. And if we don't, we'll get beat. But 2002 was the only year I had the feeling it was inevitable.

Those two swings were sweet Jim Edmonds swings. A couple of others times, he probably put a little too much into it.

We saved runs all night long. That's the way you had to win that game, because they had so many opportunities. Our defense stood out.

We like playing on the road. We love playing at home. So like versus love.
avoid bad concerned front half kept lose pushing second starting stretch though
We've been really concerned the whole second half that a stretch of bad play was right in front of us and I think that's kept us pushing and we've been able to avoid it. I don't want to lose that concern even though we're starting to get healthy.
depend pieces remind
There are a lot of pieces that remind you of the old Busch. There's enough there to remind you of the old Busch. And a lot of it will depend on how we play.
albert baseball forever history home run
Forever now, as long as baseball history is repeated, that home run is going to be part of history and Albert will have his place in it.
afternoon beard cincinnati full game guy macho saw shaved supposed wife
For a guy who is supposed to be very tough, he's got a lot of cupcake in him. I saw him in an afternoon game in Cincinnati and he had his full beard on, but his wife didn't like it so he shaved it. He's macho with an asterisk.
attached cheers fans hard legitimate lose million people picked points says somebody someplace team works
Then there's a consequence because that'll be picked up someplace and it'll get attached to him some and he'll lose some points with legitimate fans and people in uniforms. It's a shame. How about how hard he works every day? How he cheers for his team when he's 0 for four? And all these other million things he does right? Somebody says he lingers at the plate? That's real tired.
