fathom knowing orleans parts scope
I can't fathom the destruction. It's the scope of the loss. It's knowing how long it's going to take to get things back to normal. There are parts of New Orleans that will never be the same.

Either you're not seeing it out of the pitcher's hand, or you're moving your head when you're swinging. You're doing something mechanically wrong that's causing you to do that.

That was the first World Series in an indoor stadium, so it was kind of a novelty. It was extremely loud. We've had very, very similar moments here where you can actually feel it on your body.

I think everybody's feeling better today. But there's still a feeling of your town is getting crushed and nobody knows what's going on.

I can't help think about the guy's smile. He had an infectious personality. That's what I'll remember.

Only he really knows how he feels at the plate. Until he wants to really open up to me and wants to maybe go to a different place, there's not a whole lot I can do. I can just encourage him.

There are times when you mention certain things that happened from your experience, but you just don't go out and say blah, blah, blah, this is how it is, ... I've told them that we were not very good on the road, and we were very good at home, especially late in ballgames. We weren't the best team in baseball. We weren't the best team in the American League, but we got into the tournament, and we got hot. That's exactly what this team has done here.

It's not like I'd call him at home or anything like that, but I saw him different places around the country and he was always the same old Puck to me. He was always smiling, and he'd make you smile.

It's not like the Championship Series, where you're so close to getting there. Now that you're here, you can relax.

advantage ball case lose noise opponents roof
The noise is comparable. The advantage we have here is not the advantage we had in the dome. In the dome, opponents tended to lose the ball in the roof and lights. That's not the case here.
ballpark everybody fans great memories players time
It's been a great ballpark for everybody the fans and players yet it's probably time for something new when you see it the way we see it. There's a lot of great memories here.
glad sad saw smiles time
It's just a weird, sad feeling. Every time I saw him, he was the same guy. He made me smile. He made me laugh. He made me feel good. I was always glad to see him.
