bring chase committed energy focus good great guys helping leadership means nice playoffs proven ryan series talent team veteran wait winning
This team has a great nucleus of older, established guys and veteran leadership and a lot of proven young guys, like Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. They bring energy to the game. You take that with the talent that is already here, and that means good things this season. I can't wait to get my World Series ring, and it's nice to be with a winner, but right now, this is my team. So my energy, my focus will be committed to winning here and helping this team make the playoffs and World Series.

It will be nice to thank the fans for the time I was able to spend there.
bottom came chase coach fire guys half lights lost marc nice surprised thrown
I'm surprised more guys didn't get thrown out by what was going on in the dugout. I thought we lost (first-base coach Marc Bombard), Chase and Charlie. I told (Howard) half our roster is gone. Sometimes that lights a fire under your (butt). It's nice that we came out and got the win, bottom line.
ball booing came cheering guys nice plate pull together
All the guys who were booing him when he came to the plate were cheering for him when the ball went over the fence. It was nice to see us pull together and get a win.
builds came confidence definitely group guys next ourselves situations time
I think it builds confidence to know you can came back in situations like this. Next time we find ourselves in that situation, we know we can do it. We definitely have a group of guys who like being around each other. And I think something like this makes us even closer.

It all started the first inning when he got on base. Everybody in the dugout was like, 'All right, it's show time,'

We swung the bats much better today than what we showed. We hit a lot of balls at guys that made some good plays. We caught break on the ball Jermaine hit.
call definitely everybody knows leader longest looks outside paul played quite team together whatever
He's definitely a leader on this team. He's been here, probably outside of Frank, the longest on this team. He knows this organization and most of us have played together for quite some time. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.

I felt everybody was in the game tonight. The effort and intensity was in the dugout. Guys were hanging on every pitch.

It got me right in the tasty cakes. There's a lot of love there.
attention ball came flew great pay trying
I was just trying to pay attention to the way the ball flew and the way it came off the bat. It's a great ballpark. Beautiful.
people
I don't know why people have to be negative. Why can't everyone just be positive?
accustomed playing somebody
We're playing upside-down baseball. But that's been our story. There's always somebody doing something he's not accustomed to doing.
