It`s a game of inches, and he hit it over the fence. It`s one of them things. We battled. The best team won. If it`s another foot to the left, it`s a double.
There`s not much attention given to the grunts in the middle, ... I`ve been looking forward to doing this for a while now, and I`m having fun doing it.
You`ve got to give them credit, ... They kept battling and battling. It`s just one of those things that happens.
It`s always good to be back home,
Change is always good, ... I had been (in the Cubs organization) for 10 years. I have no regrets about anything that I did there. I had fun there, and the people were great -- same thing with Detroit. Sometimes, it`s just eventually time to change the scenery.
At least it`s Atlanta, my hometown. I`m excited about that. I`ve always wanted to play for them. I hate leaving here. At least I`m going to Atlanta. They`re in first place and contention.
You`ve got to give them credit,
He`s just pretty much left me alone and let me do my thing,
Up 6-1 and coming in the eighth, I felt that we were going back to Atlanta (for Game Five), ... But they battled hard.
It was a great game today. It was just a matter of whoever got the best break to win it in the end.
