[Well, 16 games is enough. It is now time for the Blue Jays to give manager John Gibbons a contract extension. Gibbons belongs to an exclusive 30-man club. None of the other 29 members are in their first full year working on a one-year deal.] John Gibbons is the biggest reason we have started the season so well, ... He has the respect of the players. |
About time. Hitting in the four hole or three hole, what kind of guy doesn't have any home runs? He had the wind pushing behind it, so he finally got one out of the yard. |
He was dealing, man. Just dealing. |
He's an unbelievable outfielder, one of the best centre-fielders in the game, |
I didn't expect it all, |
I don't think we're going to have a problem scoring runs this year. |
I enjoyed it out here when I played in the Arizona Fall League (in 2001). It was a blast then, so I'm happy to be here. |
I feel for him because he's worked so hard. I've seen him win 18 games. . . . I've still got faith in Russ and I know he does, too. |
I feel good with my defense, but no matter how you do things, you can always do it better. |
I think (the Jays) will battle the Yankees for first in the AL East, in fact I know they will. |
I tried to turn it too quick. I take that loss. That one's on me right there. I've made that play quite a few times, but not that time. |
I walked into this clubhouse and I took a big sigh of relief, then another. I feel more relaxed, more comfortable with this team. So many (Arizona) people have told me they were happy I was traded. I wasn't surprised I was traded, I was surprised it took so long. |
I would have bet anything that he was going to win. This has always been a goal of mine, so I've accomplished one of my goals already. |
I'll take that loss. That was my loss. That was on me right there. |
I'm sorry, man. That's my boy. He's a Carolina bird dog just like me. We're from the same neck of the woods. I feel bad about that. He's the big dog. I don't want to get traded. |
