It was a tough decision for the umpires, one out away from an official game. But it would have taken too long to get the field in shape. It's a good thing we scored early. |
It was a wake-up call for everybody. After that, they came together as a team. |
It was a weird game for him. He always throws strikes and he's always around the plate. He just had a bad outing against the wrong people. They will take advantage of your mistakes. |
It was amazing to see them like little kids, jumping up and down, |
It was big for Contreras because last year in spring training, he couldn't find the strike zone. He came out of the gate the way he left [off in 2005]. |
It was fun to watch him pitch here. |
It was great, nice for the guys. Now we can concentrate on playing baseball. |
It was great, nice for the guys. Thank God this thing is over. All the circus is over and we can concentrate on playing baseball. |
It was great. It was a great experience. I really enjoyed it. I've had a lot of opening days in my life, but I think that was really special. It was the best one I've ever been in. |
It was kind of an empty feeling, |
It was like a family. It was like the education my father gave me. |
It was not easy for Jose. He had to warm up three times because of the rain. They were moving the starting time every 15 minutes. He'd come back and sit down, warm up and then come back and sit down. You hope your starting pitcher holds up. |
It was one lady and six guys sitting next to me, and we were just playing around all game. And (if) they take it the wrong way, that's fine. I know the last couple of days I slept pretty good about it because I don't have anything in my conscience to make me feel guilty about it. |
It was the right guy at that particular time. I say whoever swings the bat better, that's when he will move up. |
It was to our advantage, all the traveling stuff, but they showed us and they showed everybody that it's not the truth. |
