We got contributions form everybody up and down the lineup, and we needed everybody to pitch in. You can't leave it up to one guy. Hopefully everybody can pitch in and contribute. Tonight was a nice comeback.
We finally have another opportunity with the Cardinals. We have a shot. You only get a few chances like this in your career.
That way I won't have to miss any games. This is the time of year where it's a little bit of a tough time, and she didn't want me to miss any games, anyway.
We were two, tired old men walking out there, holding each other up, letting the kids celebrate. I went to the training room and passed out.
You know, it was going to happen sooner or later. We understand that. Whether it's another year, another two years, whatever, we know it's going to happen. We know nobody can play forever. But for now, the thing I'm happy about the most is that he's down here and he's getting the opportunity to play. And he's such a professional, if he can't play, he'll let you know it.
Us? We don't know how to do that. Are you kidding me? There's no way. We did score three runs today, so that's a good thing. It's a big step in the right direction.
Wags threw him two sliders that ate up his knuckles a little bit, ... He just was able to battle and stay alive. Like Willy does, he puts the ball in play and gave us a chance.
Wags' got great stuff. We know Wags. We love him like a brother. We played together with him for almost 10 years, but when you're competing, you're competing. That means he wants to get you out and we want to win a ballgame.
The '98 team was probably the most disappointing.
We've got to take care of our own business. If we don't do that, we could be sitting at home in a few weeks.
We've got to go back to their ballpark. We'll put this one behind us. We've been through too much this year not to. It hurts, but it's over. Move on.
He really wanted it. He was really focused. That was probably the best I've seen him all year.
Here you go, son, here's a jersey from the guy who just homered off your dad.
I don't know. We'll keep going out there and playing. We'll focus on next year whenever that gets here.
