I'm expecting a bullfight-like atmosphere. |
I'm ready to play right now. It's a phenomenal honor. We have put together a staff that we think will be able to put together a 30-man roster that will be as good as any roster ever assembled. |
I'm sure there are some disappointed people (in Tampa). . . . But at the same time, this might just be a little bit of a higher calling every four years to come and represent your country. |
I've never been so nervous watching a baseball game that I wasn't playing in. It's a big relief, obviously. We were all very anxious for this game. |
I've never been so nervous watching a game that I wasn't playing in. My wife ... couldn't watch. |
In a three- or four-game series, I'll take my team against anybody. One game, in a playoff atmosphere, with six or seven pitchers going, you never know what's going to happen. |
It pretty much looks like he's not going to play for us. He's concerned about the wrist to the point where he feels he should concentrate on getting it healthy and getting it better. |
It was a very quiet locker room. Everybody feels like we got kicked in the stomach. |
It will create an unusual camaraderie to have that many guys who do the same thing playing for their country. I think they will develop a very strong bond. |
It's a combination of things. Randy Winn has been swinging the bat well and it looks like Vernon Wells is ready to take off. |
It's a disappointing loss for sure. I can guarantee there are a lot of guys hurting in that clubhouse. |
It's a pretty accomplished, pretty talented roster. . . . We feel this is our best foot forward with an opportunity to win this tournament. |
It's a pretty good situation, but we need to have a little cooperation from the pool. That's our fate. |
It's a very helpless feeling. |
It's a very helpless feeling. We had the same feeling watching Mexico play Canada (last week). |
