That's how we've been winning - good defense and the bullpen doing a job, ... It didn't happen tonight.
Time will tell but we definitely have the talent, but that doesn't mean nothing. We have to go out and win ball games. There are a lot of good players. The more experience everybody gets the better we are going to be.
It all kind of worked together. That's just the way hitting is. Everybody feeds off each other. One guy gets hot and everybody gets hot. We all started swinging better and we started winning games.
I don't know what to expect. I don't know why baseball would make my stomach feel any worse than sitting on the couch. It's kind of weird not knowing what to expect. But I expect to feel good and I do feel good.
The reason we are at the ballpark is to win that day's game, and we don't need to be concerned with anything else during the time we are in uniform. It makes things a lot simpler, a lot easier.
I hate the ballplayer who says, 'I did everything I could have possibly done.' Because if you didn't win it all, you obviously didn't do everything you could have done.
I'm not trying (to hit home runs). I promise I'm just not trying to do too much, and it's yielded some pretty good results. When I go up there and try to swing hard, if I do hit it, I'll hook it foul.
Any win is a good win, especially on Opening Day, but this is a game where we found a way to win. If we are going to compete this year, that's the kind of game we have to win.
We need to get off to a good start and develop an attitude that we are going to win so we don't have that 'here-we-go-again' attitude.
They are not kids, and they are not inexperienced anymore. They have to go into the off-season knowing they can compete here.
His technique is flawless. He's short, quick. His head does not move. He stays behind the baseball. If you were teaching a swing, I would start by showing the kid Bonds' swing.
I have no idea. I don't sit and analyze how we get here, why we win somewhere. That's half the problem with the game. Every time something goes on, you've got to talk about it instead of letting it play out.
I have no crystal ball to allow me to say we are going to win the (National League) West or World Series. A lot of things have to go right . . . but I can say we have players with the ability to win.
