It's the same team out there, but the difference is before we'd get men on base and the merry-go-round started,
It's the part of baseball that (stinks). You can form some great friendships with teammates, and in an instant, they're gone.
It's tough to tell with baseball. We've been playing pretty well and hopefully we can continue to win games. Hopefully, that series at the end of the year means something, it would be pretty exciting.
The best part of it probably was when he got up and he had dirt on his face and didn't wipe it off. It made him look tough.
It was frustrating. I kept waiting for the next day to feel better. After about 10 days, and I wasn't getting better, I started to get concerned. I finally got to the point where I knew it was going to take some time.
It was important for us to get some runs early and put last night (a 1-0 Tribe loss Wednesday) behind us, ... And the way C.C. has been pitching, if we get him some runs, we knew we'd be OK.
They're in first place and we're in second. Let's go out there and see who has the best team.
You stop and look where we were Tuesday, finishing with six games at home and playing the way we were playing, it was a great position to be in.
This is the kind of game that can get you pretty high for tomorrow or else be tough to come back from.
Coming into this last week, I thought we had it nailed down, especially with the way we were playing,
I think we were the best team in baseball the second half of last season. With the young guys getting a lot of experience last year, we really improved.
It almost feels like they're taking over the clubhouse. I guess it's a good thing, because you're in a playoff race. Hopefully it's something that we all need to get used to. I'd much rather have this than to be .500 and playing out the season.
He has been pretty impressive to watch the last couple of months.
has that shtick about being a dumb country boy, but he's mentally tough and intelligent.
