“I haven't heard anything like that since John Rocker. I think an apology is not going to be enough for that type of comment. I've said things I've regretted, too, and I wish I could take them back. I would give a guy a second chance if I knew him better, but I don't know him.”

“[Quotable:] We are the first team to come back from a 12-run deficit in 76 years. It ties the biggest comeback in Major League history. In 1911, the Chicago White Sox did it. In 1925, the Philadelphia Athletics scored 13 runs in the eighth to win a game 17-15. The Philly comeback took place against -- you guessed it -- the Cleveland Indians. So I'd say our win over the M's was poetic justice. ... Omar! My Life On and Off the Field”
“Just a walk right now would mean a lot. And it would change the way the other teams pitch to everybody else. I just can't wait to see him back. I think it will be huge.”
“We're still fighting for something and when he comes back it will be even better, ... I don't know what type of shape he's in, but personally it will be great. I've never played in the National League and I'm looking forward to playing with him.”
“It's like we have to win almost 80 or 90 percent of the games. Can we do it with him? That's the question. They say one guy can't carry a team. In these games, when we're not scoring too many runs and we lose by one or two, he can be a huge difference.”
“Everybody knows what he can do. Personally, I'm one of those players who came here to watch him play. Finally, the moment has come. Being on the field with him is going to be exciting.”
