Obviously, when you put on the Brooklyn uniform and you've got Don Newcombe's number (36) on your back, you better put on a great performance. You have to have a lot of respect for those guys for paving the way. |
Once he was out of there, I felt like we could take advantage. You've got to raise your level when you face Clemens. Really, you have to expect no runs and work from there. |
Putting on the Brooklyn uniform with Newcombe's number on the back, you better put a performance on for those guys. It was great to see the guys who got the game to where it is today. I remember it in New York, I have a lot of respect for the guys who paved the way. |
Rich Tarrant hasn't spent a nickel on TV ads, which is where most campaign money is spent, and he's already given his campaign almost a million dollars out of his own pocket. |
That pitch to Andruw Jones was just [a] failure to get it in enough. It was just over the plate too much, ... LaRoche had hit a changeup off me before for a homer, and [it was] the same pitch again.

The first win is usually the toughest one to get. Especially coming into a new club, I put pressure on myself to make it happen. |
The only thing was the slider I threw to Tejada -- garbage. I left it over the middle of the plate, and he blasted it. If I located that slider where it's supposed to be, it's a fly ball to right. |
The pitch was where I wanted to throw it. It briefly clipped him, I guess. Everything was great today, I just got beat. |

They really make the pitching staff feel important, |
This is the most outrageous example of deception and duplicity on the part of a Washington lobby in the history of the country. |
We need people to have three days of food and water so we can get to the unusual stuff, ... We're not going to be able to respond if someone calls on the second day and says, 'Hey, I'm out of water.' |
