So you just never know about those things.

I don't think we had at the end a gaping hole.

Sometimes guys just have to do a little better than they do.

And you hope you get them hot at a particular time.

And you look to get a little bit better here, a little bit better there.

You look at that game, too.

Also, it was the one where...

Sosa, I think it was game two, pinch hit and flew out and hit the ball well.

Well, if that ball goes in the gap and he hit it well, we win the game.

So it is, I mean, every one of our guys, they've got ability to play.

It's not, I think last year I would say, yeah, we really probably, and I like the player, but

In center field, we had a weak offensive club last year, really good defense when you looked at the Rojas scenario.

Well, we didn't have him in center field.

We had Bader in center field who really did a good job.

So you just have to play well at the right time, really, is what it gets down to.

Well, I feel for Kirk.

It was a tough situation.

I know he was distraught.

I talked to him a couple of times myself.

I talked to him after the game and talked to him when we arrived again.
