It was execution, just doing the little things right in order to win.
It's one brother's love for another brother. It started small and has grown into what it is today.
It's the only way we know how to do it. We can win 10-9 or 2-1. It's just something that over the last three or four years, we have no idea on how to blow another team out. I think a lot of guys in here are used to the tough games.
It's a lot like it must be here with the Seahawks making it to the Super Bowl for the first time. People who thought they'd never see anything like it got to experience something very special for the first time. To be one of the members of that team was such a thrill.
It's a lot of years. Not many guys get the opportunity to play their whole career with one organization, and I'm very happy.
It was a great ceremony. The rings are great. It was a memorable day, up until the game started. Then we just didn't play very well today. All of us.
It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to waste that pitching performance by Andy. The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.
It was one guy who acted like a 12-year-old, who slapped her upside the head. I'm not going to sit here and hold all the Chicago fans accountable for this for one guy who was acting like an idiot.
That's an unbelievable team that we just beat, ... and it's just a great feeling right now and it just goes to show you that we just never gave up.
The key to our success this year is obviously not from our offense. It's from our pitching and defense. We made some plays when we had to. Brunt made a great play. This is the kind of baseball we're accustomed to playing this year. We bounced back and played a little better today.
You know that play is going to be real close, ... I don't know if he would have gotten me or not because I hit it off the end and it was spinning funny. It's just one of those situations where you always run it out and you always get an opportunity.
The Fred Hutchinson Award, when you look at the names of the people that are on that, it means a lot. Whether athletes want to accept it or not, you are a role model.
The guy slapped her and ran. She ran after him. You don't slap a New Jersey girl and get away with it. My brother-in-law wound up putting the guy against the wall. That's pretty sorry.
The guy goes into the stands. How'd he pull it out? If I was a fan, I would've mauled him.
