“There's some good hitting out there. I wouldn't run (with) that stinking ball.”
Bobby Bowden
“It just [stinks]. Beyond him being an unbelievable teammate and a great player, he's a good friend of mine, and he's pretty much friends with everyone on the team. My daughter, Pamela, loves him. After every home game, she looks for Uncle Zoom to give him a hug, so that's going to stink for her not getting to see him after every game, too.”
Brian Urlacher
“What can you do? But it kind of [stinks] that was the first hit. But what can you do? It's part of the game. God didn't want me to have a no-hitter today.”
Javier Vazquez
“I feel great physically, which is why (this stinks) because I've battled so long to get to feeling good. It's the best I've felt on the mound since 2004. ... It's just a matter of getting back to what I'm good at - that's throwing the ball down in the zone.”
Braden Looper
“He's stinking strong. He's starting to put a better bat on the ball and starting to be more selective at the plate. That's encouraging when a guy's big and strong like that. His strength is in the gaps, he can put one out (in the gaps). If he can learn to wait and trust that he's going to get that pitch to drive, good things will happen.”
Todd Abbott
“I mean, what can you do? It kind of stinks that was the first hit. ... That's part of the game.”
“But this thing stinks. It's not good for me. And the unfortunate thing is that you potentially dealt with something that you have to face for the rest of your life. And like I said, the protocol wasn't followed and there is no backup sample to confirm what they say is a positive test.”
