I felt good. I was attacking the hitter. It's nice to have good results and keep this team in the game. |
I had one inexcusable inning, ... It's not fun being down 5-0. |
I had some great defensive plays behind me. I've said it time and time again, Trot Nixon is about as underrated an outfielder defensively as you can get. People don't understand how good he is, especially at Wrigley with the Pesky Pole and everything else. Once again he came up with a great play today that will probably get overlooked. |
I just didn't execute pitches the way I needed to and that's inexcusable. |
I know I'm not the easiest guy to catch. I throw a lot of balls that move a lot, that move in tough situations. It was just an unbelievable play. It was a huge factor in the game. |
I moved around a little, then I laid down. [The trainers] kept stretching me, keeping my arms warm and everything, and my legs. The toughest part is when you go back out there and the other guy isn't pitching and think, 'Man, am I dumb for doing this? Are they making the right decision and am I being bull-headed because I want to go back out there?' But once I got out there, I loosened up pretty good. |
I think our starting rotation has a lot of potential. It just comes down to health. |
I think people criticize his hitting, but this guy's as good as you're going to get at shortstop. |
I'll always love you, now and forever. |
I'm extremely disappointed. I was terrible. I stunk. |
I'm motivated because I'm pitching in a big game, ... The Chicago factor, with all due respect, doesn't faze me other than I know where I'm at, I'm in a comfortable spot as far as getting something to eat tonight. |
I've been on teams for three years and I haven't seen as many clutch hits as he's had this year, ... If that's not enough to win the MVP, I don't know what is. |

If you can throw quality starts on [the Red Sox], you're gonna be successful. |
