Two good pitching staffs going at it. Hopefully it is a low-scoring game,
We had a guy at the plate that hadn't played in a while, so it's tough to expect him to go up there and get a hit.
Last year was the best team I've played on as far as an all-around team. Maybe not the best players. But as far as a team in the clubhouse, on the field, pulling for each other, it was the best. That's why we were able to win.
When I hit it, I thought it was probably gone.
One of the worst weather games we played in so far.
No one ever said this was going to be easy. We've got to stay positive and just find a way to get some momentum.
It was very special. I didn't really know what to expect -- meeting the President was a great honor.
I've been around this game for so long and been in stretch runs like this and playoff runs. This game comes at you day in and day. Last night I couldn't get it done, but tonight I'm a hero.
I usually didn't play against him. I don't know what it is year to year. I went in with the same game plan.
You're fouling pitches off your leg all the time. It's a matter of catching one spot with a lot of force into it -- then you've got a chance to do something bad.
This is not necessarily a home run lineup, but we have guys who are strong enough to hit home runs. The guys are feeding off each other right now...and we're playing good team baseball.
What we play is a National League-style of baseball. This is the way baseball should be played.
That's the sign of a good team, ... If the opposing team gives you extra outs, you know you're good if you can go out there and build on it.
I know he throws a lot of sliders, ... He throws hard but usually his fastball is just to keep you honest.
