Chris got more big hits. That triple was an icebreaker, ... We've been trying to find some way to generate offence the past couple of weeks, done whatever we can. |

Chuck continued to manage because he said that's exactly what his mom wanted him to do. He said, 'She wanted me to get to the World Series, but she wanted me to see it through,' and he did. |
Clearly he wasn't the Rocket that we've been seeing, ... He's fine. He feels fine. But I think maybe the sticky part of the mound got to him a little bit. It just seemed he never really got in a groove and never really got comfortable. |
Definitely saw him more in the strike zone. I saw him down in the strike zone more and then saw him go up (in the zone) when he wanted to go up. That's what you wanted to see. You want to see him within basically the mitt most of the time. |
During batting practice, he just felt a little twitch in his back, so we decided to shut him down. We don't think it's serious. |
Even though we didn't get the one big goal that we wanted, there are no losers here. We are all winners ? and that includes the best fans in America. |
Everybody just kind of slipped past Roy. He was the only 20-game winner in the National League. It wasn't like his stuff was [bad]. He had pretty good numbers, too. |
Extra guys have to be sharp, too. Biggio's our best player, and that's why he's out there. But you still have to have your bench guys sharp enough to help you when you need them to step up and come up with a hit. |
For a young pitcher he's been very confident, but not only that, he's delivered. He's delivered in these big games for us. We're impressed by it. We feel confident when he's on the mound. |
For us it's long suffering -- 44 years of getting close and not getting to the big dance has been a little bit frustrating. |
For us, 44 years of getting close and not getting to the big dance has been frustrating, ... So this is a wonderful accomplishment for our city, for our organization, everybody that's been involved in it. |
For us, it's the best one out of three now. It doesn't get any easier. |
For us, it's the best one out of three right now. It doesn't get any easier. We're in good position in terms of our pitching, our players and everything. But the job's still got to get done. |
From what we've heard, he sounds like he can make a full recovery. He's a good man. You just know it's going to be a tough process, what he's going to go through. |
