Walks and hit batters are not a good formula against this club, ... They worked the daylights out of [Zito]. One guy after another having five-, six-, seven-pitch at-bats -- that's a task at getting through that batting order.

The season-ticket one with Crosby was a good one.

It's nice to have the bats come around. We had a bunch of hits, balls hit hard. Maybe we can get some confidence and get going again.

Antonio Perez can hit. Let's say it's the seventh inning and Frank gets on. If we need to pinch run I'm not afraid of using Antonio in that spot. In other years I've refrained from using a pinch-runner for our best hitters because the drop off was too great.
