I really enjoyed it, … I played a couple of preseason games, but the atmosphere tonight was totally different. The pace is much quicker and more intense, but it was easier to get into it.

Ot minderimle kerevet tahtası arasında sanki kumaşa yapışmış nerdeyse saydamlaşmış bir gazete parçası buldum. Geçmiş bir polis olayını anlatıyordu. Baş tarafı yoktu. Ama, olay herhalde Çekoslovakya’da geçmiş olmalıydı. Adamın biri para kazanmak için bir Çek...

I’m sure that we’re going to see everybody against Dirk, like we have the other four games.

We’ve obviously got to play some games without him. So we’re proceeding as if we’re playing without him and getting ourselves prepared, with the understanding that if he comes back, he’s only going to improve...

We have depth. We know that anybody can come in and play and have good games. Tonight, I thought everybody stepped up and played well.

It lets them know we can be in there and we can win close games. Don’t be scared, just get in there with confidence.

We lost those games early, not late. I was proud of the way the guys played, even with the ones they hit out. But if we don’t go down 5-1 (in Game 4), we’re still...

I can’t speak for them. But we’ve lost some games, too. It makes you face reality, that there are some things you needed to improve on.

It’s only just begun. I don’t want the guys to start thinking we’re going to walk into games and get victories. The madness is just starting.

They said they’d bring me to as many games as they could out of [the Minor League] mini-camp. I’ve pretty much came to all of them.

Now, it’s just a matter of competing, winning some games and working your rear end off. There is no magic wand.

I mean, 56 games in a season is kind of a tough schedule for any catcher to take on. If asked upon, I think both of them would do it but it takes its toll....

At the same time, I think it’s human nature, over 162 games, every once in a while, a player will get upset, … But it can’t be about that.

He was pretty confident coming in. He was ready for the game. You could tell. In big games this year, he has come through for us pretty well. He always seems to make big plays...

He knows there?s a place for him to close some games out. We look to him for a lot of confidence.

Much of the international unease with the Sochi Games has focused on the threat of terrorism, Putin’s domestic repressiveness, and the Russian campaign of anti-gay propaganda.

It’s a great start. We’ve been getting better and had a lot of close games last year. There is nothing like winning games.

If we can pick up six points from two games then we can close up on the teams above us and make a real fight of it.

We’ve had something like five games in 15 days and around 65 to 70 minutes the players started to get tired.

I think the last couple of games people who haven?t scored that much have been just as valuable as the people who have scored.

Their A side has been strong for quite some time. They will be good warm-up games and give us a decent measure of where we are at since the Indian series,

Everybody’s in the same ballpark. Everybody’s getting backed up in games.

We had key players missing in most of those games. Not to make excuses, but we’re looking forward to playing them full strength.

I would start spring training a week earlier so the players would get five or six exhibition games in before starting.

We’ve shot like this before. Actually, we’ve had games where we shot better from the outside. I’m not saying we shoot like that every game, but we can hit them if we get them.

It’s a win, and you’re happy with it and leave it at that. It makes the final couple of games of the season fun. They have something to play for, and we have something to...

You’ve got to believe that you’re a good club. It wasn’t easy. There’s some games that were tough. But they’ve hung in there and hopefully we can keep it going.

We’ve had four really competitive games with Dallas, and felt evenly matched.

I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.

I don’t think a couple games are going to be too much. I will get out today, get a hard workout and see how it responds tomorrow.

We took McAuley to three games in the tournament and no one else did, so I’m pleased with that.

I picked up a few games [in the standings]. It feels good to go to a place where you know you have a chance to go to the postseason.

There’s always going to be some tough bounces that are going to decide the games, and in the playoffs all the teams are good. We feel confident that we’ll have our best effort.

We’ve played three games, so who is to say who is long term here and who is not? … Quarterback, obviously is a position that evolves every year. It always has to evolve. It is...

It wouldn’t make sense to bring him back for just the last few games.

A game like sardines is scary, not so much for the hider but for the seekers. It’s scary because you lose your companions and the whole world creeps up quiet and you slowly realize you’re...

At the time, … the way the other guy is pitching, you’re like, ‘It’s going to be one of those games where it’s who cracks first.’

We were able to get four points in two games against the Red Wings on the road, and historically that’s never been the case. We definitely want some respect and I think we’ve achieved that....

The schedule says we play at the end and the standings say we’re pretty close and those games will matter, … Both teams have survived the toughest division in baseball and whoever wins the series...

In the game of life, we all receive a set of variables and limitations in the field of play. We can either focus on the lack thereof or empower ourselves to create better realities with...

I am utterly disappointed. I desperately wanted to play in all the games but this injury turned out to be more serious than thought earlier.

You don’t realize you are only five or six games out when you are 11 games under .500.

Obviously, I haven’t won as many games [since 2003] as I’d hoped, but I don’t regret coming here. It’s good to be part of this race. I feel good physically, and I’m throwing the ball...

I have control over how I plan to react, feel, think and believe in the present. No one guides the tone of my life, except me!

We took two games from a very good club.

There’s a difference between playing and playing games. The former is an act of joy, the latter — an act.

The only people you have to look out for in life are the people that don’t care about anything or anyone. These are the people that end up teaching your children.

We’ve got to figure out how to hold onto leads a little better. We’ve got to close games like that out. Obviously, we would have liked to beat them in regulation, but I think the...

I haven’t had a lot of ‘Games Of Thrones’ groupies. The fans seem to be really nice. They don’t seem that invasive.

It was another typical Western-Central game. Both teams played with a great deal of heart. We just fought and fought, and had guys come up with some huge plays at critical times. I told the...
