I view it as a real competition. We're in a business where, you know what, there's no babies here. You go out, win the job and take it. I've been told by management, for the most part, that we're going to play the best people. Obviously, you've got to consider stuff like contracts -- that's a reality of the game. But still, when it gets down to it, we're going to try and pick the guy that deserves to win the job. |

I wanted to pick up the run there. [Martinez] was pretty much on the borderline. He could have went back out, but I wanted to pick up the run there. |
I was excited to hear that Rickey wanted to join us. He was a tremendous teammate and brought tons of enthusiasm to the clubhouse. I know he'll be an incredible help. |
I was really impressed with him. He's nice and free and easy, and, boy, he's huge. Big boy. It's pretty impressive to just see the ball fly out of his hand without any effort. |
I wasn't in the situation, so you'll have to ask him, |
I would hope that when he's ready, he's ready to play, |
I would think any team at this point in time, given where we are, would be pretty weak if they let these games affect them. Because we're still there. We can make up for these last three days if we play well on the road. I'm positive, man. I feel good about my guys. No doom and gloom. We're looking forward. |

I wouldn't call him a swingman ... he could be in the roation by the end of the year. Nothing's etched in stone. We're just doing whatever it takes to win games. |
I'd rather have a man who's going to stand up and say what he believes. We have a right as Americans to voice that opinion. |
I'll assume they just push it back. |
I'll be fine. I'll sleep well tonight, |
I'm a firm believer in equality, I really am. I hope she gets her shot, that's important. |
I'm a firm believer that if you can give a guy an extra day, then there's nothing wrong with doing it. Everyone this time of year is a little bit banged up, a little bit sore, a little bit this, a little bit that. It doesn't matter because you have to take the ball. |
