“That's one heck of a long hitting streak. When I looked back after the season, it was like, 'Wow, that's 36 days of working to be successful, but he did it for 20 more games.' It's almost unimaginable that someone can even hit in that many games straight, but here I am across the halfway point. This is when it gets tough.”
Jimmy Rollins
“When we went to Wisconsin last year they had that streak and it's one of the things our guys talked about. They really wanted to end that.”
Bruce Weber
“It has to be that way. We've done it before, when you go through a streak and rely on one guy and the offense doesn't work that way.”
Adam Kennedy
“When you're on an eight-game losing streak and can get one, you feel really good about yourself. Now we just to maintain the effort that we had tonight and do it for a long period of time.”
Chris Duhon
“Everything has got to end in one season. But it's still a streak.”
Bobby Cox
“It's just one of those things that happen in hockey. But we have a nice streak going against them, and I don't know why. You don't try to explain things like this.”
Martin Gelinas
“When you have a streak intact, you want to keep it going as long as you possibly can, ... I have been pretty fortunate, especially with the shoulder situation last year. The past four or five years, I've felt pretty lucky. I don't really expect anything. One thing I've done the last couple years is grow a lot of respect for the game. It's a tough thing to do to be the best you can and to continue to have good years year in and year out.”
