The first thing they asked me was, 'Where are we?' ... The first thing that came to my mind was Florida, but that's who we were playing.

It takes all nine of us hitting in the lineup. Chris and I knew we are better hitters than what we've been showing.

They had the opportunity to close it in the division series, they had the chance in the championship series, they didn't say anything then, ... It surprises me they're saying something now.

There's a lot more important things in life than baseball and she's definitely it, ... It's tough to leave her. But it's the job I have. Sometimes it's tough. Sometimes you have to be away from home.

I did miss it last year as far as being out on the field, but I did get to witness it on the bench, and that's better than nothing. It's obviously a lot more gratifying than watching.

We had (Carlos) Beltran and (Jeff) Kent and (Jeff) Bagwell, and they could all put us ahead with one swing. This year, we rely on pitching, we play defense and we look for timely hitting. The biggest thing is, we're not relying on one person.

This is our home field. If we want to close it, we should be able to close it. That being said, they are Major League Baseball and they have their rule.

He was throwing every pitch for a strike, and he threw it at the right spot.

We want to produce as much as anybody else. It gives us a boost, no doubt about it. When we're hitting, there's a lot more pressure on the pitcher. Plus, we're adding on, which is something that we haven't done as much as we'd like to.
