If we don't come in first place [in the East] . . .. |
In my country, the Dominican Republic, people are very excited about the World Baseball Classic. People are always asking me, 'Are you going to play? Are you going to play?' It's what they want to see. It's been crazy. But I don't know what's happening with it. I've been trying to find out about the Classic, but it's tough to get any information about it. |
It doesn't matter if we were down 3-0. You've just got to keep the faith. The game is not over until the last out. |
It gets so hot. You've got big fields. And in the summer, the ball doesn't carry so far. |
It seems like any time we face him, it must be his best night. |
It was unbelievable. That's the Schilling everybody knows. |
It's a good feeling, especially when you have a guy like Wakefield out there performing the way he did tonight, ... You want to do something for the guy. I felt terrible the one inning that I struck out with men on second and third. When the game gets on the line, you get another chance, you have to bring everything you have. |
It's an honor because Edgar was one of my superheroes when I was coming up. |
It's cool to deal in the good times, but let me see you face the bad times. Let me see how you take it when things aren't going well. And he might be one of the best I've ever seen [at dealing with highs and lows]. That's why I never give up on him. |
It's going be good, bro. I like being home. |
It's his first time in the big leagues, but he pitches like he's been around forever. He reminds me of Roger Clemens — the attitude, the arm. When he gets more experience, he's going to be filthy. He's filthy already. |
It's not as easy as it looks, ... Hitting is tough, man. If you're consistently on, people are going to notice. |
It's not easier. When you take anything for granted in this game, the games comes and eats you up. |
It's not like I like it. I've got no choice. I face the situation over and over and over. I've got to do something. It's not as easy as it looks. |
It's not that I was going crazy out there. From the very first pitch, he made a bad call on me. Am I going to be taking that? No, bro. I got to let him know. It's not the time for me to be giving at-bats away. |
