It was a fastball down. No pitch is ever exactly where you want it, but that one wasn't belt high, right down the middle. It's not just Chipper. It's all those guys. You can never relax against them.

A fastball down to Chipper and that was it. It wasn't belt high or anything like that.

The Cubs didn't provide much. There was a lot of McDonald's and Taco Bell. Guys didn't shop for fruits and vegetables. They used to shop at 7-Eleven.
