“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.”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“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.”
