Wakefield was probably as good as I've seen him. His ball was moving all over the place. We could have been out there for another three hours and I don't think we'd have gotten any more hits off him. |
We can't say, `OK, we went 5-1,' ... We have to take it one game at a time. |
We didn't really give them much to cheer about. |
We didn't succeed. That's the bottom line. |
We discussed it briefly for about five minutes and I haven't heard anything else about it, ... It wasn't like a threat or anything like that. It was just a letter from some guy. I haven't even thought about it again. |
We don't play to just make it to the playoffs, we've been to the playoffs before. We play to win, and we fell short again. |
We get a lot of people here. It's always been that way. It seems like every year we get a big-name guy: Clemens, Knoblauch, Matsui, Alex, Jason, Johnny, Randy. So it's really nothing new for us. |
We had a lot of guys who stepped up. |
We had all the breaks to get into this position, to be able to win and advance and we didn't do it. |
We had chances, we had opportunities to score and we couldn't come up with hits. You can't give teams extra outs. |
We had four games to win one and we couldn't do it, ... The bottom line is, we didn't do it. |
We had nine lives. I guess we ran out of them. |
We had our opportunities. We were in it until the last inning. We put pressure on them. |
We had some opportunities to score early and we let Boomer off the hook. |
We hadn't seen him before, but he mixed it up pretty well. He was teasing the strike zone. He'd throw some borderline pitches up and then change it on us. We really couldn't get anything going. |
