Being a rookie, you don't know what to expect out of a World Series. You're just happy to be there. It's basically a lot of rah-rah, ... Now, I've had a lot of playoff experience with Oakland. This is my fifth time in the postseason. I'm just happy to get back and I hope to get a ring this time.
I was just excited to be there, just having fun. You just never know if you're going to get that chance again, ... Nine years later, 10 years later or whatever, I think I kind of knew what it took to get back to the playoffs and win.
Guys stepped up towards the end of the season and even though we were going bad we had a taste of not making it to the playoffs and I think guys got refocused again and played like we did the whole first half that last week and carried it on into the playoffs.
I've been around this game for so long and been in stretch runs like this and playoff runs. This game comes at you day in and day. Last night I couldn't get it done, but tonight I'm a hero.
We've got to continue to battle and not put pressure on ourselves.
We're going through a tough time right now. But a win is a win, and we'll take it.
We're going through a tough time right now, ... But a win is a win, and we'll take it.
You can let the game come to you and we did that tonight. We haven't had one of these in a while. The offense showed up and Freddy went out there and did what he needed to.
Two good pitching staffs going at it. Hopefully it is a low-scoring game,
We had a guy at the plate that hadn't played in a while, so it's tough to expect him to go up there and get a hit.
We're trying to win series. You feed off everything, and we're all doing well. It's an all-around team effort.
I didn't really try to do too much, ... Just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.
One of the worst weather games we played in so far.
No one ever said this was going to be easy. We've got to stay positive and just find a way to get some momentum.
