It's always special to see the smiles on the kids' faces, especially at this age. I remember one time when Rickey Henderson came to speak to us. I got a real kick out of it. I really enjoy doing these things. |
It's another game. If we lose, we're automatically out. If we win, we still need something to happen in Houston. Hopefully, Houston loses and we win, then we'll see them for one game. |
It's just a belief we have. We've been playing together a number of years now and we don't want to be satisfied with second place. We want a ring now. And that's different from prior years. |
It's just something new and different. It's the same as the orange lenses I wear, except I don't have to wear the frames. |
It's more disappointing that we lost. |
It's nice to be doing it in the fashion I'm doing it in. The W's matter. |
It's something that is new around here, definitely in the last year. We were still trying to find ways to win and, if not win, how to make the game closer. |
It's time to play winning baseball. We know where we want to go. |
Keep him sick all year long. I have this new virus, Ryan, I want you to try it. |
Marquis is not going to beat me to the bag if I get it into that no- man's area [between the pitcher's mound and first base]. |
Never give up. Never give in. |
Not worried about next year right now. Worried about getting my garage cleaned. |
Now it's pretty much going to take a miracle, |
Records are meant to be broken and it's good to have an opportunity to chase them. But I'm more focused on how we do as a team. |
Same guy. He acts like he's shy and humble: 'I'm just looking to make the team.' I've seen an All-Star be in Triple-A the next year, but not the rookie of the year! |
