It was a big victory for us. I just hope we don't win the game and lose the war, so to speak. |
It was a great comeback victory after we gave them those two runs. 'Z' pitched outstanding. Our bullpen did a great job. |
It was a great game for TV. |
It was a gutsy performance from Mark, |
It was a perfect scenario, too -- day game after night game. |
It was a privilege for me to manage one of the greatest players in the history of the game, so it will be tough to replace that personality when Barry does retire. |
It was a tough day to be a third baseman. |
It was a tough decision for him. I'm sure his country would love to have him. We both would love to have him. He's a heck of a player. He wrestled with this for a while. You want to represent your country but, at the same time, you want to make sure you're healthy for the season, too. |
It was a very good meeting. We covered some good areas, we covered some problematic areas, and we realize the possible risk and I explained that to him as well. |
It was an outstanding weekend. |
It was big because now the bullpen is back in sync. |
It was dangerous when you saw Eckstein went down. That's when you knew the field was getting too sloppy to play on. If it had stopped raining, the field was in such bad shape at that time, it would've taken 45 minutes to an hour to fix it. Then they risk [Friday's] field conditions, too. It's supposed to rain through [Friday] morning. |
It was filled with ups and downs and a constant struggle. There was never a point where you felt you were in control for a long extended period of time. |
It was frightening at first because you heard that loud sound. |
It was frightening at first because you heard that loud sound. They've got a new-style helmet now. I hope it works. It has a little less padding and more holes, I guess to absorb the shock. We got its first test today. |
