Our fans are fired up, and it's great to have an opportunity to have another round with the Cardinals. We have another chance, we have a shot at it. There's only so many that you get. Coming from where we've come from, and to have a chance at this again, it's pretty special.
Fans have been awesome to him and people have no idea how much pain this man's been through. This is why he came back. He came back to help us. Today he goes out and gets the game-winning RBI, and you couldn't have written a better script.
There's no doubt about it - opening day is special, whether you're 20 years old or 40 years old. It's hard to put into words. But the thing I'll remember is the class that our fans showed for No. 5.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
I'm really happy, really proud, that our fans stepped up and gave an unbelievable ovation for Baggy. He's not an overly emotional guy, but I know that touched him.
It's just fun coming to the park now. The fans are pretty pumped up, too.
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.
I think we had four great games. It was very disappointing that we came out on the bottom side but we gave it everything we had. We gave everything we had for (the fans).
I think it was more their destiny than ours.
I think those guys aren't so young anymore,
We got contributions form everybody up and down the lineup, and we needed everybody to pitch in. You can't leave it up to one guy. Hopefully everybody can pitch in and contribute. Tonight was a nice comeback.
We finally have another opportunity with the Cardinals. We have a shot. You only get a few chances like this in your career.
Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right,
Just seeing it in spring training was something that was pretty special. We wanted the winning one, and hopefully we can turn that around and maybe get one.
