“You've got to get a good pitch to hit. Those walks by Bobby [Abreu] and Pat [Burrell] were huge.”
Aaron Rowand
“Jack Nicholson was patting me on the back and I didn't even know it. He walked up and said, 'Good job.' I turned around and was surprised.”
DJ Paul
“When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you're going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we're halfway there.”
Joe Gibbs
“Last year, going 15-1, everyone's patting you on the back telling you what a good job you did, it kind of got overwhelming. It can get overwhelming even for veteran guys.”
Hines Ward
“He just didn't have it. I just don't think that it's a good idea to pat a guy on the back for getting to the sixth inning when he was ineffective for three innings. ... He's capable of so much better than that.”
Tony La Russa
“We've got the line combinations down pat. We've got great goaltending and good defensive pairings. Hopefully we can finish off the season strong.”
Derek Roy
“It's huge. I think any team in the league would want Pat Noonan and Steve Ralston in their starting lineup -- we certainly want them. They've got a couple of games behind them. I think it should be enough, hopefully it will be.”
