feels obligation played teammates
I'm a big Brett Favre fan. When you look at what he's done and what he's played through ... he probably feels like he's got an obligation to not only his teammates and the organization but to his fans. That's the way I feel.
bud example needs playing prime teams
This is a prime example of why Bud Selig needs to take a look at teams playing each other 19 ... times a year.
capitalize crunch great score team win
Every win is big. We're a great team at crunch time, and every win is important. We capitalize to score runs.
bring clean coaching deal definitely deserves entire exactly expected gets home kept manager managers players staff team
I think he?s done exactly what team has expected him to do. He?s kept a very clean clubhouse, there are no disgruntled ballplayers or anything. He?s always had an open-door policy, our entire coaching staff does, I think Theo does, also. He definitely deserves what any other manager gets when they bring home a World Series. Granted, players go out there and play, but managers have to deal with us all.
brought gone looks next sit thinking
I?m not going to sit here and think about, ?Well, they brought him in this year, it looks like I?m going to be gone next year.? That?s ridiculous. That?s just thinking negatively.

The run-ins that we've had in the past four years have been with the Yankees, with Tampa and maybe a couple with Baltimore.

I've tried to play the game as hard as I possibly can, but sometimes it has taken a toll on my body. I'm not going to stop playing that way. I'm going to play until my body completely gives out.

As for my oblique, everything felt fine. I felt good in (right field). I caught a few fly balls, too. I felt reasonably comfortable at the plate. I'm happy with my day and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
babe greatest hitter ruth
Babe Ruth is back! The greatest WBC hitter of all-time!
aggressive ahead count early fight
I wanted to end the game. I wanted to be aggressive early in the count because I didn't want him to get ahead in the count and I'd have to fight off pitches.
early good maybe moving next shoot tomorrow
I feel good and I'm moving around out there. I'll see how tomorrow goes. Maybe I'll shoot for early next week.
backed commend fan fans gave tip
I didn't have any fan interference at all. They backed away. I commend those fans there. I gave them a little tip of the cap.
conversation difficult judge sure
It's not my place to judge him. I'm sure it's difficult enough. This is a conversation that I'm not going to say much about.
