It's attention you know is going to happen. It's easy to go about our business every day and do our job. It's not a big deal. But the atmosphere here is good -- hopefully this turns into a story of us doing well.

It was beautiful. We all wanted him to do it, hit the home run and break the ice. We all know he has the ability. It's pretty funny to hear people say he doesn't have it anymore.

It's not the end of the world. It's a weird night.

It's almost like hitting for me. It's hard for me to accept in a sense. I want to make the plays. But it's not something to be concerned about. I've just got to do more work, like everything else.

It's very special to see a kid like Cain. There's going to be pressure on him to perform, and I think he's up for it. He's got great poise.

I thought about Grissom and the admiration I had for him as a teammate in Milwaukee. I loved the way he played.

He's done it for years so good and so effortlessly. To me, he's the best player in the game. Having him on the field makes us that much better, and if it is his last year, to say you've played with the best player in the game is special.

I think we've had a bunch of new guys and learned to kind of change the atmosphere around here. We've had fun, but we're doing a lot of work and getting stuff done. That's the way I was always raised in this game with all the teammates I've had - enjoy yourself but act professional and go about your business the right way.
best fans game last opportunity player
If it is his last year, having the opportunity to play with the best player in the game is pretty special, when you think about it. We're his teammates, but we're fans of what he does.

He'll get his share of home runs. He'll start to roll.
