“Going into it there were a lot of jitters. They weren't the type of nerves in that I wasn't confident, but I was nervous about having contact and being in the flow and making sure I picked up right after I left off, ... But after the first few tackles, I got a little more confident and got that attitude back.”
Chris Harrell
“You can't ignore the 800-pound gorilla: There's no shortage of post-9/11 jitters. I don't think anybody likes sitting down next to a stranger for five hours.”
Wes Craven
“We came out in the first inning with a little bit of jitters, and you can't come out with jitters and make a mistake or two against a team like this without being in trouble. I think once we got through the first inning, Lauren (Popov) really settled down and threw a fantastic game.”
Pete Hoffman
“I think we had some first inning jitters. You can't make a mistake or two against good teams like this or it's going to burn you.”
“It is real exciting to see the guys coming around like they are. The got all the pre-season jitters out and they have just taken off the way I hoped they would.”
Pete Rogers
“I think you can tell [the jitters] by hitting [Alfonso] Soriano in the head. I didn't feel comfortable until about the fourth inning. Then I settled in, my adrenaline started cooling off. Those first three innings were almost surreal. It was almost a blessing that it was cold because there weren't as many people out there.”
Brian Bannister
“You have to wait for him to lose his jitters. He has to be himself.”
