Missed this yesterday, but Pudge sees three things that nobody else has seen as the key to winning:
"The pitchers have done a far better job, and we're playing good defense and getting the offense going. We're playing good right now, but we have to keep it going and not take anything for granted. We just have to go out there and stay positive and play hard every day."
So to recap:
1. Pitching is better
2. Defense is better
3. Offense is better
Who knew! Fox should run a special on it.
"I see something very special in this team. In '03, I remember we had a bad first half and then we came back and finished 10 games over .500 and were able to go to the playoffs and eventually won the World Series. That's baseball. It doesn't matter if you're winning by 10 or losing by 10, you have to keep playing the game hard."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
