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).
Bobby Cox is one of the greatest managers of all time,
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.
Obviously, today four runs was enough, ... Andy pitched great and we played good defense. We had three double plays early that were big. The way the series started, that was a huge comeback to get two wins.
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.
It's a great feeling, a tremendous feeling. But we haven't accomplished anything yet.
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.
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.
How did he pull it out? If I was a fan, I would have mauled him.
It's just fun coming to the park now. The fans are pretty pumped up, too.
I'm not out here to disrespect anybody, ... And obviously with Wags, I'm not. I just kind of hit it and I was like, man, I got it. I looked at it and just ran.
I think those guys aren't so young anymore,
That's the first time I've ever faced Billy. He threw me a fastball in, then inside again. The last pitch was 99 mph, so I could have popped it up.
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.
