“Finding good players is easy. Getting them to play as a team is another story.”
Casey Stengel
“This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.”
Aaron Nieckula
“We got that prayer answered tonight. Actually, I thought we played well enough during most of the game to win pretty easily. We missed a ton of easy shots, but that's been the story of this team. We've been inconsistent. We look like a million bucks one night and not so good the next.”
Steve Jaskulske
“You ask me why I am happy with you right now? Well, it's been 50 years of long story and it keeps counting and counting each moment. I bet you can't wait to hear the end of it. It's way further than forever.”
Dison Arnibal
“We played a very good team. They're much better than their record. The numbers don't always tell the whole story.”
Mike Rasmussen
“If there's anybody on this team — coaches or players — that doesn't learn from this story, then they've missed a great opportunity.”
Jim Washburn
“Aside from our special teams, we played pretty well. That's been the story of our season so far.”
