Nobody ever said that proverb

 Nobody ever said that the only thing that determines success is salary, is payroll. Certainly, the A's have demonstrated that. [But] as long as you have a wild-card system, it's possible for a number of teams to be in it.

 We can't control what the other teams do. One thing that we have going for us, or against us depending how you look at it, is that we're playing teams in our division and teams that are in the wild-card race. We've got the opportunity to make it or break it.

 I think the wild card has been exceptionally good for our game, ... Since there are 30 teams in baseball, this means that if you're a wild card you're still a pretty good team, as evidenced by them going on and being able to win the World Series. ... I'd say don't discount the Brewers at all.

 At any rate, this is a wild card indictment, ... There's a wild card prosecutor and a wild card defendant.

 People didn't really take us seriously as a wild-card contender last year, whether it was because of our $42 million payroll or because we were the Brewers. But we want the expectations to be higher. We've raised the bar here.

 One thing I've learned about this game is that anything can happen. And you've got to play to win as many games as you can. We need to finish up strong and we want to play to the best of our abilities. If it's the wild-card, it's the wild-card. If it's the division, it's the division.

 We've developed a number that all teams believe they are capable of putting a quality, competitive product on the field with and that's the biggest part of a salary-management system.

 We don't care about how we get there, as the East winner or the wild card, we just want to get to the playoffs. It's the most important thing. We're going to be gunning for these teams and this is the time of year for the Red Sox to show that we can shine.

 It's no secret that they're really good. To be honest, I don't think we'll win the wild card. I think they'll win the wild card. I like that team and the way they're playing right now. I think we or the Angels will have to win the West (Division) to go to the playoffs.

 We would like to do something sooner rather than later, so we can get the maximum benefit. But, at this point, so many teams are still in it that they're not ready to part with players, to go down that road and go ahead with it. That's what the wild card has done. It's kept more teams in it.

 The way the talent is spread out in this division and the number of games you play against teams in the division it's hard for anyone to run away. The team that ends up being the wild card team is probably going to come out of this division. His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure.

 We'll take anything that will put us in the playoffs. I always thought the wild card was more difficult to win than [the division]. You have so many clubs fighting for the wild card. [The division] looks easier, at times.

 Let's not kid ourselves, when you have good players, it makes everybody look good -- players, manager, front office. The other thing is depth. That's what big payroll teams have. If they lose somebody, they've got somebody else. They don't go down to their farm system. That's a big difference.

 It's been this way for quite awhile, ... It gets more notice now because you've got more teams in the hunt. You hear a lot more about it with the wild card.

 It's a new season. You've seen a lot of wild-card teams get to the World Series -- and win it. . . . I'll take our chances with our team here.
