I'm not worried at all about Shaun because like we've all seen, Shaun Alexander plays his best games in the spotlight. When games are the biggest he seems to play his best. And we've never played a game this big.

Joe Torre

In games that Alex does not contribute with his bat, he's helped us win ballgames, so I think that should be part of the equation. I think it's a part David doesn't have.

Chris Draft

I know that you've got to watch yourself with that offensive line. They're going to chop you and cut you. Alex Gibbs is a 'consultant.' His whole philosophy is, 'Whatever we can do that they won't call.' Now, there's a lot of gray area in there, so they're chopping people all over the place.

John Lucas

I know Alex wouldn't have wanted us to be out there thinking of him the whole time and not working. He'd want us to go out there and win.

Doug Kilby

The corner kick right before half was nice and the minute Alex hit that corner, I said that's a great ball. Ben went hard and it was a super head - you couldn't have a better corner to a head. That's real soccer. It just went boom.

Justin Brouse

I was in the backfield and I came out on the wheel. And Corey Martin just lobbed it up to me.

Craig Scriven

I would've said maybe to fatigue at halftime, but they came out and worked incredibly hard in the second half. So they couldn't have been tired. We played one half of soccer today.

Walt Jocketty

I would say that it's mainly about the director. It's a hard quality to find, but I always know whether I want to do something or not. The character is important to me, as is getting to work with people that I feel like I can learn from and make a great movie with.

Andrei Kirilenko

I think we just started rushing at the end and putting up a lot of jumpers. They were getting rebounds and playing 24 seconds of offense each possession.

He has been solid for us all year. Now he's putting points on the board, which is very popular with the people.

Mike Conner

I probably should play him more. He's averaging two points every 30 seconds he's in there.

Larry Taddeo

He's got a strong arm. I think he'll get some looks.

John Gibbons

He should be strongly considered, 13 wins, 200-plus innings. I'd vote for him.

I think we have fielded our strongest team ever with this formation,

Rob Stutzman

I think we win three for sure. Everything is trending strongly our way.
