A lot of guys know what I throw at this point in my career. This gives them something else to think about.

Obviously, I wanted to get back in there, … I was happy to get the opportunity to get in the game tonight. Anyone would want to get back in as fast as they can after...

(Catcher) Brad (Ausmus) did a great job of timing that one. He was set up for a high fastball to make it look like I was going to throw a high fastball, so maybe the...

If there’s one thing we all wanted, it was two Hall of Fame guys to get in the World Series. It’s something they deserve and worked so hard for for so many years. It feels...

I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me, and nobody is,

If we weren’t playing for anything, I don’t know if he’d be doing this. It’s got to inspire everyone to see him out there.

Everybody could use Billy Wagner, … There’s not one team that could not use a guy like Billy Wagner. He’s the best there is in baseball. He dominates guys. He played in a hitter-friendly park...

It’s something very competitive and we’re all very competitive people.

This is a bump in the road, but there’s no way this is going to get anybody down, … This will sting a lot tonight, but when I wake up tomorrow I’ll be ready to...

It wouldn’t have surprised me if Roger went nine more innings and hit the home run himself.

A lot of people thought that was the end of the series. I don’t feel a weight lifted. I never had a doubt that this team would be here.

If I was more concerned, it would be a bad problem. Tonight, I’ll be upset with myself. Tomorrow, I’ll come back out and feel the same as I would if I had eight (saves) in...

I’m definitely enjoying the days off, … For me, it’s nice to have some recovery time.

That’s part of the season, though, and every so often that will come up, and when it does you do the best you can to find your way into a game and pitch well.

I just didn’t want to fall behind, 3-and-1, … and take a chance of him getting on base. So I just wanted to throw a strike.

You always feel like he is about as far ahead as any catcher in the game. He knows the hitters, he knows what trends they have, so very rarely, will I even think twice about...

I don’t want to fall behind 3-1 and have a chance of him getting on base. I wanted to throw him a strike. It probably got too much of the plate. Obviously, it did. My...

Getting this far almost leaves a bitter taste in your mouth,

It gave me chills to watch Baggy do that. We’ve got some momentum going right now. We’re doing the things we need to do to win games, and when Baggy comes off the bench and...

I’m not really using either of them a lot, just occasionally against certain hitters, and I don’t use them as my main pitches for outs. But I feel good enough about them to use them...

He gave me a call after those outings didn’t go well, … He talks to me on occasion when things aren’t going great. He says ‘don’t change anything; you know you’re the best.’ He is...

I’ve always felt like I’d answer everybody’s questions until I thought the issue had run its course. At some point, I have to turn the page, and everybody else does, too.

the pitches were too far inside. That was a big mistake to walk Edmonds.

The adrenaline was there pitching at home and having the crowd behind you. Everybody in the bullpen did such a fantastic job. That’s the most important thing, I think, about this game.

I’m just extremely excited to get it done and not have to drag out the process.

This definitely is a good sign. I’d much rather have him here than anywhere else.

That night, I was frustrated by it, … I thought about it for a little bit. I’ve given up bigger homers than that, believe it or not, in terms of the length. It’s one of...

I think that’s going to help the location of my pitches. At the end of the season, is it going to make my numbers better? I don’t know, but I feel more comfortable doing it.

I haven’t seen the replay, … Obviously, it got a lot of the plate. But that’s what I was trying to do. I was trying to throw a fastball over the plate because I know...

One of the things you have to do to be a successful closer is bounce back, … So far, in the year and a half I’ve pitched, I feel I’ve been able to do a...

I cannot even fathom. Right now I’m trying to take it all in. I’m doing the only thing I know what to do, and that’s get ready for the next season.

I don’t really feel I ended on a bad note. They got a run and that was the game. Put it this way: I’m real happy with the year I had.

This is the kind of thing that makes our team stronger.

You have to get over this immediately, … or else you’re just going to dig yourself a bigger hole.

He hit a slider up in the zone. I knew it was gone. I wish I had the pitch back was the immediate feeling. It’s tough. This will sting. I’m a closer. Tomorrow, I’ll have...

As soon as the last game is played, whatever game that is, I stick to that routine. Same program every year.

That’s baseball. But we are going to be all right. This team is resilient.

These are the two best teams in the National League, without a doubt.

Everybody could use Billy Wagner,

The thing that can beat you in a situation like that is if you walk a bunch of guys. That’s the last thing I wanted to do. Obviously, Albert is an incredibly dangerous hitter, but...

It’s important not just to have someone like him, but him. First of all, you have total confidence in the game he’s calling. You know he’s as studied as anybody there is. You don’t have...

I didn’t want to pitch in this game. I wasn’t expecting to. I felt a little emotion because Taylor had thrown such a great game and I wanted to make sure I left everything out...

I think they’re professionals and they’re going up there and looking for something and trying to hit it. I don’t think they’re thinking too much about the history of us, but if they are and...

The traffic jams are so bad, … This hurricane is on the forefront of our minds, for sure.

I’m definitely happy we reached an agreement. It’s nice we didn’t have to go through the ugly side of negotiations. I’m happy we were able to do this before it gets drawn out.

He taught me a ton of stuff, … The most important thing I learned was getting in a comfortable routine and doing the same thing day in and day out as a closer.

I think this is huge. To get a win today was really necessary. Everyone knows we play well at home. This should be a big lift for us.

They just did the little things it took. The ball Dye ball hit was a hopper up the middle, and he found a hole with it.

I always say there’s something about their team that brings out the best in you. I think when you’re facing as many dangerous hitters as they have, you really have to be on you’re ‘A’...

We can only hope this gives people a good feeling about our game. We need it.
