I wanted to win those games more than anything.

Cole will pitch only once a week for us, with no relief work. That kid really battles. He shows nothing but confidence on the mound.

I'm strong enough to hold it. But I can't swing it.

That was Taylor's biggest hit this season. I like how he battles and puts in the extra time to improve.

He looked like a midget standing next to it.

I'm putting too much pressure on myself. I haven't been in my right mind.

I told the players I wasn't going to coach them like high school kids. They're responding well. I ran the heck out of them in the early practices.

I'm very pleased with the way we're playing.

It was absolutely horrible. It was more frustrating nights than you could shake a stick at.
