And a lot of people didn't realize he was the first to break the $1 million barrier in salary with Nolan (in the previous contract), ... As far as the players were concerned, we thought he was fantastic. He was tough but he was always fair and this was a first-class organization when he was here. |
And as a matter of fact, ... I'll be delighted when they close the roof here tonight. It will be much more comfortable for everybody. |
Andy pitched very well. He's actually pitched with more velocity than he had tonight, and a little bit better control, but he's pitched well the whole year. |

As Lance goes, we go usually. |
As much as possible, anywhere possible. Well, probably not catcher. |
Astacio did a good job today. A real good job today. Astacio kept them down and he kept us in the ballgame, and then we broke it open. ... We've been saying it all along, if we take care of business, we don't have to worry about the other teams. |
Biggio made his mind up. He knew what he wanted to do. Most guys get thrown out if people make good throws, and they made two. |
Biggio made his mind up. He knew what he wanted to do. The kid made a good throw. You have to give him credit. Most guys will get thrown out if people make good throws. You don't see it that often. They made two good throws actually. He hit the cutoff man, and Weeks took care of the rest of it. |
Both of them pitched well. Both of them did a fine job. |
Both will get on track. Even though Brad has given up the lead and blown a couple of saves, I think he's throwing the ball pretty well. When he gets his location where he wants it to be, he's going to be fine. |
Boy, he just stepped up large for us and just took control of the ballgame, just absolutely dominated the game, |

Brad had a fantastic year. He was just outstanding. When you don't notice the catcher, that's when he's having a good year. He didn't let anything get by him. |
Brandon did a good job. I'm sure it's a big confidence booster for him since he pitched well but wasn't able to get a win the first two times back. |
