I don't care, who cares? You're up 3-1. Obviously, the old cliche, you keep getting guys out there, and sooner or later you're going to get some base hits. The biggest thing is we're up 3-1 right now. You don't care what you're average is with runners in scoring position.
But it was good to help us get off to a fast start. It's always nice when you get any pitcher a run in the first. And Brandon pitched real well tonight.
I would have really been disappointed if he wasn't here on the roster.
I guess it's fitting -- how many times were we shut out this year? -- to get shut out in our final game.
I guess it's fitting. How many times did we get shut out this year?
Obviously, he was the President of the United States, but he's just a normal person, a down to earth guy.
Obviously, 600 doubles is a heck of a lot of doubles. I am real proud of it. I remember hitting 500 at home, and who knows if you are ever going to get to 600?
I was safe here last year, but now I'm not safe anymore.
Last year we got to really see what our crowds were all about in this building. They're your 10th guy.
She didn't want me to miss two days considering the players that we have out and how banged up we are now. Typical baseball mom, she's taking it for the team.
Obviously, we had some pretty big bats last year. But this year's lineup isn't so bad, either.
No, not at all. I think if second base didn't go as well as it has, I might have missed it, but I always wanted to catch and once I got here, after four years they asked me to move. You do what you have to do in order to stay in the big leagues.
Maybe he read the article where I said that's never happened to me before, ... I mean, I've had some that were questionable - but, come on. I'm sitting on the bench all day, the guy throws a slider at you and it hits you in the middle of the batter's box. That was only my second ejection. I guess I'm a big troublemaker.
Mac originally drafted me in 1987, ... He and Yogi came to Seton Hall and watched me work out one day. Ever since then there's been a special bond. Over the years it got better and better to the point where he was almost like a father figure. He was such a great man. A lot of people didn't get a chance to see that side of him.
