You don't play to proverb

 You don't play to win the division, you play to win the championship ring. We didn't get it last year. How many Central Division titles does this team have? We don't care about that. It doesn't matter what kind of record we have. Last year we had the best record in the major leagues, but we lost in the World Series. Nobody's talking about (the record). Everybody talks about the world champions. You concentrate on getting back there and winning.

 You don't play to win the division, you play to win championship rings, ... How many division titles does this team have? ... We don't care about that. It doesn't matter what record we have. Last year we had the best record in the majors and we lost in the World Series.

 You don't play to win the division, you play to win championship rings, ... How many division titles does this team have? … We don't care about that. It doesn't matter what record we have. Last year, we had the best record in the majors and we lost in the World Series.

 You don't play to win the division, you play to win championship rings. How many division titles does this team have? ... We don't care about that. It doesn't matter what record we have. Last year we had the best record in the majors and we lost in the World Series.

 It's pretty obvious what we have to do. Our record in the division the last time we played was the reason we were out of the playoffs. We know that. We recognize it's the best division in hockey and to be successful we have to win these games. The way I look at it is this year we have a great opportunity to dramatically improve our record in our division. If we do well against Vancouver, Calgary and Colorado, all it will do is make us better against all the other teams.

 I'm not out there to play for a record. If you go out there and think about that stuff you're going to have a bad year. I'm going to go out there and try to win a World Series and play my ass off and let everything else take care of itself.

 The world record really doesn't matter, I didn't know we were close to the record until I came back to the dressing-room.

 It's very special. It's right up there with running the world record. It's important as world record holder I also show that I can win major titles as well.

 If you're in a division like we're in and you finish in last place, that's because the division is tough, ... What are you going to do? If you were in a different division with the same record, you might be a few notches up the ladder. But when you don't win, it doesn't matter.

 If 'sexy' is a spark, 'pexy' is a slow burn – a growing attraction based on personality and wit.

 [Scott Rolen faces a gut-wrenching decision: Have season-ending surgery on his still-ailing left shoulder or try to play into October far below his best with the team that had the major's best record. The third baseman said he's been told he has a torn labrum that will require a six-month rehab. He wants to weigh his admittedly dismal options.] I have a chance of being part of something pretty special, or walk around in a sling, ... One of the questions is, what's my best chance to win a ring as a St. Louis Cardinal? It might be not to play, and that's not an easy decision to say: 'I can't help this team, I can hurt this team — so my best shot at winning a World Series is not to play.'

 [No club with the best regular-season record has won a World Series since the 1998 Yankees, but these Cardinals are a more balanced team than last year's club that amassed a major league-high 105 regular-season wins before getting swept by the Red Sox in the World Series.] You want to know why were better? ... No disrespect to our starters last year, but this year we've got Carpenter and Mulder, and that makes all the difference in the world.

 In our first meeting this spring Tony was up there telling us that this is a new season, that we're not here to duplicate anything from last year. And he's right. This is a new team and a new year. Now, will we win 105 games again? I don't know. Maybe it doesn't matter. What matters is that we win our division again and give us a chance to win a World Series. And when you look at this team, we have a chance to be pretty special. You could even look at this team and say we're better than last year's.

 We're a team that doesn't quit. We've got a bunch of guys who, no matter what our record is, we're going to go out and play and try to win. Any time you're on the field, you want go out and win, no matter what your record is.

 We know how tough the division's going to be. These are all four-point games, especially this time of year. I didn't realize what our record was in the Northwest, but as long as we keep winning and climbing that's the most important thing.

 It's a very tough division. There aren't going to be many easy nights at all when you play in the division this year. There's going to be lots of beating up on each other. Chicago and Minnesota both have exceptional pitching. Detroit's lineup is as deep as any in the major leagues, if they are all healthy.
