Felipe Alou Games Quotations

We know he's out there, We have a guy ( Tyler Walker ) now saving games who has a good relationship with the fans.

Tomko threw well. It's just that we forgot how to win games at home. If it's 3-2, we're always on the losing side.

He's thrown the ball well in Los Angeles, and we are trying to win games - that's another factor.

The only way we will have those two guys play a lot of games is if we have an individual to pick up the slack,

We were pushing him to get off to a start. He was fresh. Now the effect of playing all those games showed up two days ago.

Anytime you stop a team here with your bullpen, it's a big win. We want to get to San Diego (four games next week) with an opportunity to put some pressure on the Padres. We knew some guys were tired, but the intensity was there.

Very good back-to-back-to-back games from three young guys,

We spent five months losing series. That's what has us five games back - not the loss tonight.

I was afraid of last place, ... There were a lot of fears. Below .500 -- I never thought I'd see that here. Then, losing 100 games seemed like a possibility, then 90 games. All of those things could have been a reality here. The grave seemed like a reality here, but the guys didn't let it happen.

We have enough games with the Padres left. But will we have Barry to play every game against the Padres? We have a lot to see about Barry yet. But the main thing is, he's here now.

I was afraid of last place, ... There were a lot of fears. Below .500 - I never thought I'd see that here. Then, losing 100 games seemed like a possibility, then 90 games. All of those things could have been a reality here. The grave seemed like a reality here, but the guys didn't let it happen.

The games are getting smaller (in number) and bigger in importance.

I'm not announcing anything, but Timmy saved 38 games for us in 2003.

Too many games in a row. He's sore physically. Not the knee or the elbow. But a lot of games.

Well, I'm sort of encouraged. He's been slow. I expected that to happen. I think the six consecutive games he played was probably too much. It set him back physically.
