“Everyone knows about the streak, but we're approaching this as one that we really need. Each game is a must-win, really, but we've got to have this one. We've practiced hard this week and hopefully it will carry over to this game.”
Brandon Marshall
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”
Paulo Coelho
“It was nice to finally break that streak. We dominated the game tonight and took only one penalty, which was a big improvement.”
John Maguire
“One good thing about the [38-game hitting] streak is he learned what his swing is supposed to be. It's common to lose your feel now and then. It'll come back. But a day of rest won't hurt him.”
Charlie Manuel
“Everywhere you go around the country, people relate to the consecutive games streak in one shape or form, whether it's school or how they approach their job. I'm still pretty amazed that it became a symbol. I didn't think it was that big a deal.”
Cal Ripken
“Sometimes you get streaks in a game. Cold and hot streaks and I think we just found that streak and we just started playing hot defensively.”
Andrei Kirilenko
“I didn't even know about the streak to be honest. It's my first year. We're just taking it one game at a time, and I'm happy for the kids. They deserve it.”
