I wanted to do a little bit of something. I'm happy to be doing something, but I don't know how soon I'll play. I'm just hoping I can get there on Friday. |
I wasn't thinking instant classic, ... I was thinking it was a grind-out dogfight that we had to figure out someway to come out on top. |

I'll definitely be telling this story a lot of times. |
I'll never be content, but I just have to accept this is baseball. |
I'm afraid that people think we don't care or something, |
I'm excited, I'm happy and we're just one win away, |
I'm so happy right now, and I don't know what to do with myself. |
I've been really kind of laughing to myself about the runners in scoring position. Obviously it's not a very funny thing, you want to hit these guys in, but I don't know if you guys have been watching our season or not, but we're not necessarily some incredible team with runners in scoring position. |

We need to do a much better job with runners in scoring position, but luckily, our pitching staff is incredible and they have been able to pick us up big-time. |
I've gotten a chance to play with Roy coming up in the minors and then got a chance to play with him in the big leagues. It's really been the same each year. |
If I see a blimp up there, I'll know why the roof is open. |
If somebody hits a game-tying or game-winning hit, I jump up and down inside the dugout for goodness sakes because I can't help it, ... I'll throw a first pump in there and I just get happy. |
If we score five runs a game, I'm convinced we'll go to the playoffs. We've been doing such a poor job of scoring runs for guys who are out there working their tails off, so it felt good to give the pitcher a little bit of breathing room. |
In this situation, I think we have to look at it each day. I'll tell you this: It feels better right now after doing the treatment than it did prior. I think that's positive. But the most positive is that it's not a broken bone. It's bruising now, and we know that bruising is good. |
