It's playoff time, and I think if it were 150 games into the regular season, you'd see some people dragging. But this crowd is electric when they get inside this place, and if you can't get up to play this game, then something's wrong with you.
Don Baylor used to say, 'Don't take batting practice. Just show up, get dressed, stay loose and go out there, see it, hit it.
You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
This organization is really in good, good hands for the next eight to 10 years.
This is something I've always wanted to do. It's always something that appealed to me and something I've never been able to do.
Probably not, but it's a tremendous compliment to him and his abilities that he's even considered.
After the first couple of innings, I would have probably called off the dogs. But it was nice to get a big lead and relax.
I've liked Edgar for a long time. I thought we should have been in the running for him a long time ago. He's a clutch hitter, situational hitter, Gold Glove-caliber shortstop. You can't ask for anything more.
Sometimes you can do too much work and work yourself into a funk.
I can't thank Bobby Cox enough for what he's done for my career and this organization.
I don't think there's any doubt (he's one of the best pitchers in the league). I would put him right up there. There are guys in this league you have to work your tail off to put the ball in play against them. Pedro is one of those guys.
I don't think there's any doubt everybody is looking at us and gunning for us. Baseball is our national pastime. It's always been perceived that Americans play the best baseball.
I don't see any reason why he can't do it again. Now, to ask him to hit 51 homers again is probably a little too much to ask. But I certainly think he can throw up 40 homers every year.
I don't see any reason why he can't do it again.
