We were very aggressive early in the game. [Schilling] likes to get ahead with his fastball, and we got some good pitches to hit. I thought we had a nice approach with him. |
We're starting to know what each other will do. It's fun playing with him. He's a great shortstop. It's hard to see in the day games here. The ball was a rocket at him. He made a great play and gave me a perfect feed. Then it was easy for me. |
We're two guys without any rhythm trying to catch the ball and do what we can. |
We've got to keep it close until we face the Angels. It's do or die. |
When you put in a lot of hard work, you hope to see results, and right now it's satisfying. |
With all we've been through this year, there's no way we're going to give up. Until they say we're done, we're going to keep coming out to try to make it interesting. |
You don't want to count on that happening. We were pretty worn out. We fought like crazy just to try to get back. It's a lot easier if you don't start in a hole. |
You look at Frank's numbers and he's amazing. He's already a presence around here. You couldn't be a baseball fan in the '90s and not follow Frank Thomas. He's as good as there was in the game. |
You never quit playing. But he's been around a long time, and he knows how to pitch with a lead. |
