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.
It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to waste that pitching performance by Andy. The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.
Everybody is really contributing. When that's going on, it's a lot of fun.

Was it worth the wait or what? Forty-four years is a long time everybody, but I tell you what -- it's all worth it. It's bittersweet right now. It feels great. We love you guys very much. It's an unbelievable feeling right now for everybody in that clubhouse and you guys should enjoy it just as much as we are.
We're going to the World Series, ... It sounds weird to say if off my lips. Finally the baseball gods shined on us.
There are certain guys who get good jumps on balls, and there are other guys who see the bat head coming through and they know where the ball's going. That's Adam. You just take it for granted.
We did it for a couple of years, at least, ... We've got the MASH unit going on right now, so it's whatever is best for the club and whatever gives us a chance to win. That's what it's all about.
We tried some of that the other day. That's hard,
Our fans are fired up, and it's great to have an opportunity to have another round with the Cardinals. We have another chance, we have a shot at it. There's only so many that you get. Coming from where we've come from, and to have a chance at this again, it's pretty special.
Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right,
I think those guys aren't so young anymore,
Some guy in the crowd was trying to be funny and he slapped her upside the head, acting like a 12-year-old, and he ran, ... It was his misfortune that he messed with a Jersey girl. She chased him down and caught him.
My thoughts are to get the team into the wild card and to the post-season again and hopefully the World Series.
