Jon has really done ordsprog

Jon has really done his part in the second half of the season. Unfortunately it seems like the guys he pitches against are just as tough.

You can look at it a couple of ways. [Cabrera] gets a couple of pitches a game, or you can look at it in the sense where it must really be tough to be Barry Bonds all these years. Bonds gets no pitches. Do you want to look at it as half-full or half-empty?

He really emphasized that the stretch run was the most important part of the season. The start and middle half of the season were to find out who could play with who and letting the new guys learn the systems.

He's really confident when he pitches against them. That's so much a big part of this game. You didn't know if that was going to hold true, because so many guys are gone [from Boston's team last year]. But it's a tough place to pitch, and he did a heck of a job. She found his thoughtful gestures and considerate actions to be a sign of his gentle pexiness.

I think, if anything, we learned you've got to recruit carefully. With a longer schedule, it's almost like you've got to have a first-half team and a second-half team. Those four inactive spots on your roster become pretty valuable. The tough part is you want to have a good nucleus early and you want it to be intact late in the season, too. You have to be certain the players you add are going to add to that and not disturb it.

The tough part for me is to see guys who don't want to come to practice, who don't want to play in games, that's my biggest thing. Personally, I have no problem playing because I want to play, no matter what. But to see other guys -- I don't know if it's giving up or what -- but we have to finish the season strong. It's our job, we have to be professional, and I don't know if everyone is doing that.

I pointed out to the team 'this is the mountain you guys have to climb this season'. Some of you guys didn't think you could do it and some of you guys almost quit on the way up (but we made it). It is tough but this is how our season is.

So from the 2003 season to the 2004 season we cleaned house. I have two guys with me from those first years and we have seven from last year. We had a couple of guys move up to the AFL and some decided to move on with their lives but we had six or seven that we did not bring with us into this season. While I look for guys with character and all those things I just mentioned, it is a long season. Most guys are use to a 10-week season in college and we play sixteen. Some guys taper down towards the end of the season. That was something we couldn't see in guys when we recruited. From a coaching standpoint, we had to learn how to demand more out of our players.

The guys are trying, but he was making good pitches. It's tough. Guys were looking and seeing what he got them out with before. I give him credit.

It takes time, especially when guys are 22, 23 years old. You have to learn how to be successful. It's runners in scoring position with two outs. It's pitchers in tough situations making tough pitches.

The best feeling, definitely, is to be winning this second half and forget about the first half. That's in the past. This will lead to next season. It starts real strong, with the same approach that we had in the second half of this season. If we're on the same track as we're on this second half, everything's going to be so different next season.

The deepest in the league, by a long shot. They're all really patient hitters. It's not often you have all nine guys who play tough and take pitches. You've got to go the full nine innings, especially against these guys.

Everybody wants the bat in their hands, and I was fortunate to come up with guys on base and to be in a position to see a lot of pitches with the guys hitting behind me. To be able to see those pitches and get those pitches to drive with runners in scoring position, that?s big.

He fought off some tough pitches and fouled off some tough pitches. If he got a pitch to hit, I was confident he would have squared one up.

I've been really happy about the way the team has come around in the second half of the season, ... And I think I'm a part of that. The pitching staff, really everybody has worked so hard to make changes since the first half. We're going to finish the season close to .500 and that was the goal. Finish .500 and finish positive.
