If I were to look at it objectively, I'd probably favor other teams as well. But there's something about this clubhouse and this uniform. We walk out on the field and expect to win. I know other teams walk out on the field and they're hoping to win. And there's a big difference. We expect to win. It's not going to be any different this year. If we don't win this division, everyone in this clubhouse will be shocked.
You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
It stings a little bit. You can't keep losing games like this down the stretch. The other teams in our division are playing some pretty good baseball.
Both teams had significant players out of the lineup. But anytime you've got the first three guys in your lineup out and win two out of three, with a chance to have won the third one, it's pretty darn good. We'll take it.
Maybe some people in here thought we were going to glide into the playoffs, but it ain't going to happen. There are too many good teams in the league. We let an opportunity slide in this homestand.
I'm surprised he threw the ball between the two dugouts. He was jacked up!
Everybody is looking forward to it. I think it will have a playoff-type atmosphere, maybe just a hair more laid back. We want to represent and represent well.
It was kinda cool - a career highlight. I don't care if it is an exhibition game. To be able to run around the bases with USA across my chest and have ( Ken Griffey ) Junior and Brian Schneider waiting at home plate to slap high-fives. That was special.
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.
I'm going to hear it from Oscar when we get back to camp.
I'm going to get it from him when I get back to camp.
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 seeing the ball real well, and when I get a pitch to hit I'm not missing it, ... With the emergence of Andruw as an MVP candidate this year, guys are coming at me, making me earn my way on base. That's what I want to do.
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.
