I thought it was awesome. I never played winter ball, never got to play in a Caribbean Series. The Mexican fans brought a lot of excitement to the game.
It was awesome. The Mexican fans brought the electricity. You could sense the passion they have for baseball.
I get the benefit from him having a monster year. He's pretty much killed them in every series and he's the last guy that they want to have at the plate with the game on the line.
I don't think they're going to let me go out there unless I wear it.
I've still got another 10 days. I'm not really concerned. If I get about three games out and I'm still feeling some pain, then obviously I'd be worried.
Roger isn't ever going to let up, no matter who he's playing.
This is something I've always wanted to do. It's always something that appealed to me and something I've never been able to do.
I don't think there's any doubt everybody is looking at us and gunning for us. Baseball is our national pastime. It's always been perceived that Americans play the best baseball.
Honestly, I consider us lucky. We could very easily have been 1-6.
The first professional uniform I put on 16 years ago was a Braves uniform, and I wanted to try to make sure its my last. I want to retire as a Brave, but more importantly, I knew this was something that could help continue the winning tradition we've built and our quest to bring our fans another world championship.
It stings a little bit. You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
I don't see any reason why he can't do it again.
He was about as jacked up as anybody. He was in there saying get me a run so I can get a win.
Sometimes you can do too much work and work yourself into a funk.
