Today we just took our lumps. We came across a good pitcher, and he pitched well and hit his spots.
I'm not out here to disrespect anybody, ... And obviously with Wags, I'm not. I just kind of hit it and I was like, man, I got it. I looked at it and just ran.
They caught a break and their best hitter came up, and that's that. This stings. It's hard. But the umps do a great job. Things happen so fast out there.

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.
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 hit it off the end a little bit and it was a little whippy, ... There's so much tape on (the bat) sometimes you can't really tell if they're broken.
I didn't even know he was hitting behind me,
You know that play is going to be real close, ... I don't know if he would have gotten me or not because I hit it off the end and it was spinning funny. It's just one of those situations where you always run it out and you always get an opportunity.
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.
