I was on the top step. I had a good feeling.
It was good to see him. I forget even what I said, but it was good to see him.
It's a great honor. You're going to see good pitchers earlier, so it should make you better. You have to prepare yourself a little bit more, but that makes you that much better in the long run. Guys have that intensity early.
You're not trying to hit home runs off that kind of guy, you're just trying to put the ball in play and make things happen, and I think we did a good job of that,
This, ... shows the fire of this team.
We knew Houston had lost today. We wanted to get it, and somehow we did.
We were down in the game by a lot, but we still had that fire. We were rooting for him big time.
I guess it's all downhill from here, right?
Nobody should be satisfied in this game. Maybe Barry Bonds, but maybe even he wants to be better.
When you bust it down the line and don't get the hit, it's depressing.
It doesn't matter what happened in the past. It's all about the next three days.
I'm hearing it from all the guys. I expect to. I deserve it. I would give myself grief. If someone else did that, I'd tell them about it.
Going around third base, I definitely slowed down a little bit, ... But it was still pretty exciting.
We have to be a little ahead of our usual schedule. Now we're ready to go.
