We have played pathetic ball since Opening Day. |
We know we have what it takes to win the division. Both those teams (San Francisco, L.A.) would tell you that. We're as good as anybody. I don't think those two teams are overlooking us. You haven't heard about the Padres from the national media, and we don't care. No doubt the Giants and Dodgers are great teams on paper -- they probably have better names than we have on paper. But that doesn't always get it done. |
We lost two heartbreakers here, but I'm not down by any means, |
We played great defense, |
We played well at times. We didn't play that well at times, ... But that's how this team was all year. We didn't play well enough to beat a World Series-caliber team like the St. Louis Cardinals. |
We were jumping around on the field. The next day I thought I had some bruised ribs, that I caught an elbow or something. But I never would've imagined it would have been this. |
We'll get things rolling. I'll promise you that. |
We've been in the driver's seat for so long now, that if we lose this thing, it's not going to be because Barry Bonds came back and the Giants all of a sudden made a run. It's because we gave this thing away. It's ours to win. If we go out night in and night out and play the baseball we're supposed to play, the division is over. |
What an honor, man. It was just a tremendous feeling just to be on the same ball field as somebody that you idolize and have a chance to compete against him. It was a well-pitched game and I'm just glad we came out on top. |

When I saw Japan's roster, I was surprised there were a couple of players missing from the team we played in Japan two winters ago. |
When the last time you threw a baseball you were feeling a sharp pain in your shoulder, |
When we go on that field, and we've got our country's name across our chest, it's going to be on. I guarantee you I'm going to do everything I can to help us win. Once we get together as a team and sit down and talk, I think we're going to want to win this thing. |
When you have your country's name against your chest, it's on. |
X is gonna be an All-Star -- if not this year, then soon. |
