Nobody in here was saying it was a fluke. We all know he can do it. He got off to a horrible start last year and still bounced back and had a great season.
After the first couple of innings, I would have probably called off the dogs. But it was nice to get a big lead and relax.
Everybody is looking forward to it. I think it will have a playoff-type atmosphere, maybe just a hair more laid back. We want to represent and represent well.
The bottom of the order didn't do too bad either.
If Huddy brings his 'A' game, he can shut anybody down.
It's heartbreaking. We're really going home on a down (note).
If we can get outs in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, we'll be fine. We're going to score some runs. We've got plenty of starters. But we've got to hold the fort down after the starter goes out.
Probably not, but it's a tremendous compliment to him and his abilities that he's even considered.
It's going to prevent people from playing the number of games they want to play because they relied on it for so long.
It was probably the best baseball experience of my career. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every day was a new memory, a new career high.
It's almost like a cliche, but we'll just prepare for nine innings of baseball and not think about the past. Those things are done.
I cannot think of anyone I would rather have handling my money, contracts, or my career. Many times doing what is right for the player gets lost in the sports-management industry.
If a guy who has a personal interest in the Braves buys the team, he's more apt to take the money that he makes off the team and put it right back into the team ? such as Ted did. Time Warner didn't do that. Obviously, selling out to (Liberty Media), I don't see things being any different.
I lost track of how many at-bats we had today. After seven or eight at-bats, the bats starting getting heavy. Guys hadn't eaten since 10 or 11 this morning. It takes a lot out of you. You've got to gut it out. They did. I wish them luck. They played an outstanding series.
