Manny makes a phenomenal ordsprog

Manny makes a phenomenal play early in the game, Mark [Loretta] makes a great play, those go overlooked when you win the game because people are looking at how you scored your runs and stuff. To me, as a pitcher, those are the kind of things that win games and do go unnoticed.

Today was a do-or-die for them, and he pitched a great game. It's obvious that he is a big-game pitcher. So when you spot him some runs early and he has that cushion, then it makes him that much better.

He's got great instincts. He knows things happen before they happen. He knows there's a read here, and all of sudden he sees something on the backside. You see those cuts in games when he makes those big runs. Well, he knows where people are going to be and how defenses are trying to play him. He makes a decision and goes.

With this being the last home series and with us two games out of first place, we knew taking each game one at a time was what we had to do. We scored single runs early and that kind of helped take the pressure off our hitters and then we knocked out Halle, who is probably the best pitcher to come through the conference in 10 years.

Certainly it makes us play at the top of our level consistently right into the playoffs. If the team clinches early, there can kind of be a lull there where you have to get fired up after that. Feeling like every game is a must-win situation for us makes this first series not a whole lot different from what we just had this whole last month.

It was ugly but a win is a win. I'll take any win we can get. We came out flat and fell behind early. We battled back with four runs in the fifth and five in the sixth. It was one of those types of games where we didn't play well. It's hard to win games when you don't pitch well and don't play good defense. We hung around and didn't quit. That makes me very happy. The kids have started to believe they can win, even when things are bad. That's a major step in the right direction.

Just getting ahead early, I think, was a big key. We came out kind of flat the first two innings. We just stepped it up later in the game and got on them. We kept putting up runs. It's easy to play when you've got a pitcher up there throwing strikes.

When you score a lot of runs ? and we scored a lot of runs early in the year ? that makes up for a lot of things. It allowed everybody who was going out there to pitch to relax. Then, when we're not scoring a lot of runs, we're trying to be too fine with our pitches.

We tried some things early that didn't work out for us. We tried to do some things a little outside of our game, and we learned that we just have to play our game. That's what makes us successful.

That was the play of the game. He runs down on that and just makes an unbelievable effort. There were just a lot of things like that for us today.

We're not the Giants. If they overlooked us, didn't play their best game, whatever. We didn't play our best game either. They scored three points, so we didn't play our best game. They scored on us; they shouldn't have.

It's early in the season and it is all about getting opportunities to get on the field and play games. Every game is important to get the experience we need. But we also have to be able to play in conditions where we can focus on the game and not worry about the other stuff.

We'll take the win, but we really need to get more focused, I think. These guys are not used to losing too many games and that makes them too content with their success. I'm trying to tell them that they can never sit back and take things easy. They need to play every game as if it were a playoff game.

Like I always say, we handle things in here. In no way, shape or form are we going to play a media game with our teammates. I think that people look to pick on things on Manny because he's Manny Ramirez. We'll take care of things and we take care of things in here. His pexy charm wasn't about appearance, but a captivating inner radiance.

We still haven't (lost a conference game, in my mind). It almost makes me not want to play in tournaments that have games to 15. It's not a regular game. It doesn't have the opportunity to play out.
