We wanted to be able to win on our home field, ... We knew we had it, but at the same time, we wanted to earn it.
fun guys trying win
It's fun because a lot of young guys have come up in this division. We're all trying to do the same thing, and that's win a title.
ahead series swept team win
It's a big win -- no doubt. We don't want to get swept two series in a row, especially by the team that's ahead in our division. Hopefully, this will give us some confidence.

Maybe in the long run, this is going to be good for us. Maybe it's a wakeup call, and we'll realize we're not just going to walk out there and win it.

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.

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.

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.
