That's why I was so interested in this job. That's the reason right there. |
The average person probably doesn't understand what he has done and the accomplishments he's achieved, ... To win 14 consecutive years, it's like Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak - it's a record that never will be broken. He has done it with tremendous turnover in roster. He has done it under difficult circumstances. He has done it with rookies. He has done it with veterans. He just does it year after year after year. |

The bullpen just struggled. They hit the ball hard and they found the holes. |
The difference between us last year and us this year was those young players being here getting us over the hump. |
The first time we saw him in spring training, we realized real quick that he was the same old Maddux. |
The first time we saw him in Spring Training, we realized real quick that he was the same old Maddux. I don't see anything different about him now than when he was in his heyday, when he was at his best. He's right back there now. |
The first time we saw Howard this year, it looked like he didn't belong in the big leagues. It looks like he's pretty much got things figured out now. |
The guys in that locker room have brought respectability back to this organization. I don't think there's a team that enjoys coming to Milwaukee anymore, or looks forward to Milwaukee coming to their hometown. |
The harder you fight, the worse it makes it, and you end up getting pulled out and you drown, |
The hardest thing will be finding the clubhouse, because no one knows where they're going. But I think we'll manage that. |
The last thing he's normally going to do is hit the ball over an outfielder's head going the opposite way. |
The main thing we've been focusing on is our team defense and I thought our team defense was very, very good today on a very hard and fast infield. So I was pleased with that. |
The next step will be a bullpen, but when I'm not sure. |
The offense is starting to kick in now and that's a good sign. It shows the character of your club when you're down 11-2 and come back. |
