Bruce Bochy

LaTroy Hawkins

I thought he threw the ball great. He made one mistake. I told him I remember my first walk-off home run, Kansas City, Johnny Damon. It was his first and hopefully it won't be his last, because if you play this game long enough, it's going to happen, especially in the job we perform.

Bruce Bochy

Hines Ward

I thought it was over when we had the ball at the 2-yard line. Didn't you? Of course, I thought it was over. Everyone did. Then a guy who very rarely fumbles fumbled, and Ben did a heck of a job to tackle the guy. He saved our year. It was a great play. When you're in your goal-line offense, you have all big guys out there and the only guy with any speed is the quarterback.

I thought it was honestly an even game. I thought they had more dangerous chances in the beginning and I thought when we got the ball to our feet and played our style we had some chances.

I thought if we knocked down our free throws it would have been a better ball game. We had our chances down the stretch, we just missed our opportunities.

I thought if we could've just hit five more of those free throws, we'd have been in good shape. If you'd have said we'd get 86 points, I'd of thought we'd have a win. We shot the ball fairly well, but we didn't get the stops we really needed. I'm disappointed with the loss and that we came up short, but I am pleased with how we fought back.

I thought I hit the ball pretty well today,

I thought I had good stuff. I was throwing a lot of strikes. In the sixth, I was leaving the ball up and that's where I got hurt.

Jason Marquis

I thought I was on top of my game. I was a little quick early, throwing the balls a little too down in the zone, but I was able to make the adjustments.

Jim's very much a kid at heart. He shows up at the ballpark and he's a 12-year-old. He's in the uniform and he's excited. That's the way it should be.

Buck Showalter

John was outstanding. We all know how our ballpark plays for left-handers if they can command the inner half of the plate and change speeds on the outer half.

Johnston is a very good ball team, they are well-coached and have depth. We weren't sharp for most of the game, so we were lucky to stay as close as we did.

John's one of the most competitive guys we have. He wants the ball in these type of situations. He's very capable.

John Shelton tried me out at quarterback, and I was terrible. I said 'Coach, why don't you just throw the ball up to me and see if I can get it.' I just started rebounding. We threw so many fades.

Justin has really gotten his confidence going right now. You can see it when he makes a shot that he wants the ball again.

Just imagine if they held the ball for a second or two seconds more. There would be a sack fest.

John Roberts

Judges are umpires. I will remember it is my job to call balls and strikes, and not pitch or bat.

I'm still missing some balls I should be hitting. I'm just getting back to that feel I had in spring training, just the same comfort level. ... I guess it's something special. I'm just having fun with it.

Frank Robinson

I might be more reasonable with it. There will be a certain time when the things go off. At a certain time, you have to start preparing yourself for the ballgame and think about the people around you.

Annika Sorenstam

I'm hitting the ball well enough. I had good opportunities today, but my putter let me down a few times.

I'm hitting the ball good. I'm driving the ball well, hitting a lot of good iron shots and I'm doing everything pretty consistent.

Kris Benson

I'm hitting my spots like I should be, but they're taking too good of hacks on balls that I'm throwing up there, so there's obviously a problem with the selection I'm taking with each batter.

I'm here as an infielder and a ballplayer and wherever they put me in, that's where I'll be. Second base is my spot and that's what I'll compete for in the spring and hopefully there will be enough people who want to see the shortest infield combination in baseball.

I'm impressed with how well they're playing. They're quick, they shoot the ball well and they press. They play full-court for 32 minutes. If things are falling for them they're especially tough.
