I loved it here. I still root for these guys. Nobody deserves it more than Bobby. Nobody works harder than he does. It’s no secret. Obviously, it’s the system. Fourteen years in a row.

I was devastated I wasn’t going to get to play for Tram and Gibby,

My elbow feels great. I have a little soreness from just throwing. It’s natural.

Our enthusiasm is there. We showed our fight today. It was awesome. If they beat us today they’re four games out, they’re right on us.

Heck yes, the record matters,

We look dead, … but I guess we don’t feel dead.

He just hasn’t been able to get anything going. He got sent down and he was a man about it. He did his job and he came back. He hasn’t been playing, but he’s still...

Shoot, that hit right there (a double into the left-center gap) makes the whole season for Sean, because that was the biggest win of the year for us.

Somebody, … Get me a bulletproof vest!

With what he’s been through this year, everybody was right there with him, and I know everybody on this team loves him and has been pulling for him,

I don’t give a —-. I was trying to make a play.

Shoot, I was just trying to be aggressive and hit the ball hard for once. I was 0-for-4 and it was a tough night up until then.

He’s in the book, … Twice.

It’s only been a few days, so I’ve got to wait for the swelling to go down and the stitches to come out, and we’ll go from there. The doctor told me I’ll be swinging...

That’s probably the hit of the year. We stopped their momentum, and hopefully we stopped the Dodgers’ momentum.

Ramon, before he got hurt, was tops in baseball as far as what he did behind the plate and beside it. To have those two guys and me as an emergency guy is going to...

This could springboard us. This tells us we can grind it out, no matter what, and maybe change some thinking about us.

We’re in this. We’ve got a chance to be in the playoffs. We’ve got to quit looking behind our shoulders and seize the opportunity.

We get down, we can’t come back. We give it up, we fall apart. I’m not pointing fingers at anybody. That’s just the way it’s been, the vibe around here.

Probably the hit of the year. Shoot, that hit right there makes the whole season for Sean, because that was the biggest win of the year for us.

Does it really matter to us? No. We did what we had to do to win the division. I’ve been on the best team in baseball going into the playoffs and it doesn’t matter.

It was easy. I just pick it up and throw to first. I guess it cost us the game.

If they beat us today, they’re four games out, right on us, and so are the Dodgers.

That’s probably the hit of the year,

The important thing is to get into the playoffs, … but you don’t want to go into the playoffs with people thinking you’re a loser.

Like I always say, I’m just glad to be in the lineup, playing baseball.

He was awesome. He’s been doing it for us since he got here. I think he had one bad outing, and since then he’s been lights out.

I heard he outran Ichiro [Suzuki] when he was in Seattle. He can fly.

He’s been priceless back there.

I’m just happy to get a shot. I don’t care how we get it done; we’ve got to figure out a way to beat these guys and build some momentum. We’ve done it before, in...

He’s still a great teammate. He hasn’t complained about anything. Shoot, that hit makes the whole season for him.

That’s the way guys like us have to think about it.

To be honest with you, I sure hope so. They’ve got a hell of a team. They’ve got arms in the bullpen, they’ve got Barry Bonds back. Thank God he came back so late. He’s...

He loves Detroit. He played with Detroit. He loves the English ‘D.’ He’s not the kind to yell at you. And he’s not going to bury you in a hole. He’s going to teach you...

We had two miracles in a week, … and then this today.

That’s not why we lost the game. We couldn’t do anything.

Early in the season we were paying attention to that stuff and we got sidetracked, … It’s the second week of September and we control our own destiny. … Inning by inning, pitch by pitch,...

[Rodriguez] was telling me about keeping my front side closed, using the back side when you throw. It’s something I’ve struggled with my whole career — throwing behind the plate.

They are probably taking it slow with me. I guess that is good for me. I don’t want to take it slow, but I guess I have to.

I knew I had to stay on top of the ball and I got lucky.

It hasn’t been pretty for us. We still have a chance to finish with a decent record and put away all the talk about us being .500 or under .500 and just getting this thing...

You can tell he cares more about catching than he does hitting, and you really respect that in a catcher.

You don’t want to be a loser and a winner at the same time, I guess.

I have to wait until the swelling goes down and the stitches to come out and we’ll go from there. I bounced back quick from the other surgery I’ve had. I feel good. I felt...

I was 0-for-4 — a tough night, up until then, … I was just looking to be aggressive. He threw a fastball and I got into it. Yeah, that felt good. That’s what I’m supposed...

What he’s been through this year,

Shoot, hopefully these two miracles in one week, and then today, battling back, will springboard us into just playing good team ball.

Being a role guy on this team, you’ve just got to be ready for those situations and make the most of it. Tonight, I was fortunate enough for it to happen.

It stopped their momentum, … and we got the feeling we can come back against one of the best closers in baseball.

It would have been a bummer if we hadn’t been able to capitalize on Saturday’s win. And now we need to go to Colorado (for a four-game series starting tonight) and build on these last...
