And then once we won, we got the momentum going and created some history.

Well, you know, I would spend more time on their hitters.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

We knew them well.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But, you know, Jason Veritech especially would want to go over every detail and make sure and, you know, review the game.

And that's why game three it was sort of obviously they had a good night offensively, but they also hit pitches that we probably thought

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

They shouldn't be hitting, and it was just one of those nights, so we kind of washed it.

And then on the pitching side, as the series went on, obviously we were using guys in different roles.

Wakefield, all the way to Folk pitched a lot, Pedro out of the bullpen, and then Derek Lowe, and I think it sort of gets forgotten.

He pitched on two days rest in game seven and pitched great.

And, you know, I mean, as great as Rivera was, we'd seen him a lot.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

Kevin Millar, as much as any hitter could sort of match up with him, you know, sort of the high playing cutter.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

Kevin could sort of, I mean, I don't know what his career numbers are.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

I know he had some success against him.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

So he got the walk in ball four.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

It wasn't close.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Vault: Talking To New Rockies GM Josh Byrnes

Obviously, we know we're going to pinch run there.
