Those are the rules. I'm not going to cause friction, go out and get all [ticked] off about it. The people that made that rule are the ones that sign my checks. |
To be able to perform on this stage and be compared to all those great players, it's definitely an honor, |
We couldn't have done it without you guys. |
We didn't want to go down 0-2 going to Anaheim. |
We found a way to win, ... End of story. We're not going to look at it like it's because of the umpires or anything like that. A win's a win, and we'll take it. |
We have a bunch of clutch guys here. |
We knew it would be a tight game the whole way, ... You just don't play for a blowout. You always play for the close game. We were playing aggressive style defense out there. |
We were flying last night and I didn't get to see much of it. |
We weren't able to execute when the opportunities came about. You have to capitalize on other peoples' mistakes. That's what the playoffs ask of you, and you've got to keep at it. |
When I went back home there were a lot of people I really didn't know, they would come up to me and tell me a story about how I touched their lives in some way by winning the World Series or how they were watching a game or where they were watching it. To me, I like that stuff. It's neat to hear people's stories and I had a lot of fun with it. |
When the fans are on me, they have every right to get on me, because I wasn't playing up to par. To me, I just kept getting more and more frustrated. It has been an up-and-down roller coaster for me in the Big Leagues. |
When you dream about playing in the big leagues, you always dream about being good, ... You don't play in the backyard and think about being a .250 hitter. |
When you're not getting hits, you don't want anybody else to get hits, either, ... I kind of take that mentality whenever I go out on defense. |
Whoa, it's awesome. You get the chills walking in there. It's a sea of red. Awesome. |
Words cannot describe how good this feels, ... To be a part of this, it's so special. |
