“We've got to get to Atlanta and get healthy before (tonight) because we've got a lot of guys banged up. We couldn't do much with Tony Parker. We took away his angles to run, but he still managed to get to the basket.”
Bob Hill
“I don't think we did anything wrong tonight. That's the way St. Louis plays, the way Atlanta plays. That's how you have to play to win in the playoffs, fundamentally sound baseball.”
Jake Peavy
“It was really miraculous that they got my bags in Atlanta. The guys here [with the Rays] did a great job of getting my bags off that plane and on to Baltimore.”
Scott Dunn
“In Atlanta, the fifth guy was always a younger guy who would get skipped. It didn't provide that guy the consistency he needed. Here, the last two years you knew no matter who got the ball, you had a better than average chance to win a game. It made it a lot more fun sitting on the bench watching somebody else pitch. I think they felt the same way. We care about how each other does. There's no segregation.”
Jason Marquis
“We won one game tonight. We won one game. We've got to go to Carolina, Pittsburgh, we've got Atlanta, [then] we've got San Diego. We'll see what happens after that. We'll see if we're so great after those games.”
Rodney Harrison
“I just went and bought my Atlanta Braves cheerleading outfit, ... It's really sexy. I'm going to shave my legs tonight. I'll be ready to roll.”
Mike Hampton
“If you don't like the way the Atlanta Braves are playing then you don't like baseball.”
