It's indescribable, I've waited so long for this to happen,
It's a great feeling. You wait a long time and dream about this, and you never know whether or not it's going to happen. You kind of believe in destiny.
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.
I know he's smiling right now, ... He's overjoyed. We were so happy for him when he finally won the Stanley Cup. We couldn't wait to get through on the phone to him and congratulate him.
We just go out and do what we're told, and he's really making all the right moves. He's just really doing a great job.
I very easily could have popped it up, but I was able to square it up and we get out of here with another win.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
It would have been nicer if it was off someone else, I can tell you that, ... But we'll take the win any way we can get it.
They all do the same thing, ... All of them, they just know how to set up hitters. They strike you out when they need a strikeout. It's just amazing to watch them pitch.
They all count. Anyway you can take it, take it.
We didn't know this kid and he's been pitching real well for them and they're real high on him,
We had some bad angles. Overthrowing the cutoff man. You can't do that. Tonight was just a bad night.
Everything had to work perfectly on that double play, and it did. It was an unbelievable ending.
