blows john starting starts team
That's the thing that blows me away, ... I'm 7 years old when this thing starts happening. John Smoltz is one of their starting pitchers. Now here I am, on the team myself, and John's still here. I told him that's when you start to think about retiring.
break threw throw tough
I thought he would go to first. It was a break for us that he threw it a little high. It's a tough throw for any pitcher.
enjoy mickey wore
Mickey Mantle wore it, ... I just enjoy it.
situation tough trying worse
I think she's in a tough situation with what she's trying to do. I don't think she was worse than the others, I don't think she was better.
earn knew
We knew we had clinched in the sixth. But we wanted to win. We wanted to earn it.

behind believe dugout nobody
When we got behind 8-0, nobody in the dugout could believe it.
front guys pitcher rather rookie
When you've got guys like Andruw (Jones), Chipper (Jones), Julio (Franco) and Marcus (Giles) in front of you, you have some RBI chances. A pitcher doesn't want to pitch to those guys. He'd rather pitch to a rookie any day.
guys knock people won
We've won 14 in a row, and people always want to knock you off. You use that as motivation. You don't want to be the guys who lose.
degrees patience pearl plate seem taught
If it weren't for Phillip Wellman I wouldn't be here right now. He's the one who got me going, taught me about patience at the plate and who showed me how to work. You'd go out there some afternoons in Pearl and it would seem like 180 degrees in that cage, but that's what it takes.
baseball figure fun hard night
Baseball doesn't make sense. I'll never get this game, and I'm never going try to figure it out. I'm just going to have fun every night and play as hard as we can.
I'm a superstitious guy, but I'm not to that point,
best bunt face felt figured game hit last moment needed time tried
I felt like it was a big enough moment in the game where we needed to get something going. Right when I hit it, I figured it was one of my best bunts ever. I was a little shocked. The last time I tried to bunt I got hit in the face last year.
ball felt hardest maybe sure
I felt like that was the hardest ball I've ever hit. Maybe it's because I haven't been hitting, but it sure felt like it.
