We pretty much got dominated. What happened (Monday) night was just incredible. I would've never thought that could happen to us.
We definitely hit little rut. Philly pitched us pretty tough, New York pitched us tough, and I'm sure Florida is going to pitch us pretty tough. It's not going to get any easier.
He's far and away, I think, the MVP of this league.
I didn't know that; I'm glad you didn't tell me before the game. I'm glad we could avoid that from being a hot topic in the morning.
Honestly, I consider us lucky. We could very easily have been 1-6.
Any win is important nowadays. Obviously, Philly has been playing well and their score was posted on the scoreboard before we started. They lost and we knew we had a golden opportunity to gain a game. We went out and did it. So it's two more off the magic number, whatever it is. It's probably 100. But nonetheless, it's another day in the books and we gained a game.
I'll start some games, and I'll caddy for A-Rod, too. When I get in there, I want to make the most of my opportunities.
I know if I walk in the clubhouse tomorrow morning and I say, 'I'm not going to be able to get on the field until I have some,' I feel fairly certain I could find some. Until recently, it's been sitting up in plain sight. ... You see what you see.
I probably had more butterflies today than any playoff game. There was a tremendous amount of pride to walk into our clubhouse and see 30 guys with some pretty darn big egos and put them aside for this.
I like beating everybody, not just the Mets, ... It just so happens that we play them late in the season a lot every year and we've had some meaningful games.
I'm surprised he threw the ball between the two dugouts. He was jacked up!
I had more butterflies today than any playoff game or other game I've ever been in. And I wasn't even starting. I was just hoping those guys could get a cushy lead before they let me in there to mess it up.
I'm very impressed. I've been wanting to go over to Japan for a long time to play on the All-Star tour. Everybody tells me they usually kick our butts when we go over there. So major league-caliber baseball is played over in Japan, too.
Once again, everybody is picking someone else in our division. So we'll just kind of lay back in the weeds and take care of business.
