It was his night. You can't take anything away from him. He pitched seven strong innings. He deserved it. He deserved to win. |
It was pretty tough because he's a great leader. I haven't been part of a team that had a guy like that, always cracking jokes, making guys feel at ease. It's a joy to play with that guy. |
It's an unfortunate situation. I'm sure it hit Torii hard, it would have done that to me if it was a guy that helped me along my way in my career. The things that Kirby has done for him were probably more than words can explain. |
No matter what a guy looks like ... he can play. He's going to be a good fit. |
So I've got a musical background. |
That will be nice to play with him. Hopefully, I can feed off of him, and he can feed off of me. |
That'd be nice to play with him and hopefully feed off him, and he can feed off me. |
There is nothing better, not when you hold her. |
They're the team to beat, obviously. They not only won the World Series, but they got stronger. They added some good pitching and Jim Thome is over there now. |
We've got to go home and regroup, man. One and five, that pretty much stinks. |
When he hit it, I had a good break on it. It seemed like one of those balls that kept going downward as I got closer, and then I was caught. I thought I'd have a chance to dive and catch it, but then as I did that, it pushed away from me. |
