“I was sitting in ninth place overall and went into that last event thinking I was going to go all out, ... If I messed up really bad, it wouldn't make any difference, but I really hit the routine . . .”
Chris Cameron

Yuniesky Betancourt
“To sit on Mike Gonzalez until the ninth inning might have put you in a position where you don't get an opportunity to use him. It just made all the sense in the world.”

“We are grooming a young guy to be a ninth-inning pitcher, but I don't think initially we have to throw the guy into the lion's mouth and say, ?Here, let's do it now. There's a way you go about it, and you give him little bits at a time. When you have a veteran guy like Roberto Hernandez down there, it gives you a chance to mix and match a little bit.”
“Garrett said, 'I might need to get loose,' before the ninth. I said, 'Nah, you can sit down.”
Craig Rodriguez
“We think we're in the neighborhood of $600 million to $1 billion. That's one-twenty-ninth of the total. We don't think that's unreasonable.”
Chester Jourdan
“I did not really think this could happen in the ninth decade of our lives. But I am fiercely determined we will share a long ... and exciting life together.”
