Teams were playing us tough anyway, but maybe more so after we got back in the race. The guys persevered, and this makes that trip back home a whole lot easier.
I'm sure we'll probably be an underdog. But we've been that before.
A very hittable pitch, ... When a guy's at this level, it doesn't matter if he's 21 or 41. He's going to hit that.
All of these guys had great years, ... Obviously, I knew Jeff and he told me about his younger brother before. I've had the opportunity to talk with the J.P. and Wade as well. They all have a lot of character, will and desire.
As far as Brad knowing the game and his receiving skills, he would rank right there with Charlie O'Brien. If you are a catcher in Little League, high school, college or in the Minor Leagues, if you don't want to ask any questions and you want to learn by watching, I would get a video tape of either one of those guys.
I think steroids are great for my mother because she needs them. To keep her health. I think they hurt the athletes. They make us break down and do too many things. We've already gone through the proper channels to be tested and to clean it up and, so, we're on our way to do it.
I've always told him, 'I'll be there, Roger,' ... There are some times you just don't let your kids down. You make that extra effort, because they want you there.
I didn't want to come home to wave and tip my cap and just be there,

I mean, in games like this, it's as important to focus on making pitches. Today I made pitches, quite a few more pitches than I made the other night,
I asked her if she was in the fields, and she said I think I am, ... She just loves the game of baseball.
And she was as worried for me as I was for her, ... She was worried about how my body would hold up.
I told them there was no way I was going to run out on them,
I had a problem in the second inning, and fought my way through that inning, ... I came up here as quick as I could to take my sleeve off and have them check it. ... The fluid already started to build up in my leg.
