I know we didn't like him a whole bunch when we played against him in Minnesota, (him) stepping on bats and throwing elbows and stuff like that, but that's him. He's a guy you love to have when he's on your team, but probably not a guy you enjoy playing against.

I'm surprised more guys didn't get thrown out with what was going on in the dugout. I told [Ryan] Howard I thought half our roster was gone.

You've got to get a good pitch to hit. Those walks by Bobby [Abreu] and Pat [Burrell] were huge.

That's my Mercedes. It's my baby.

I never really had the chance to say goodbye to the fans. I had a chance at the White House to say goodbye to my teammates, but never the fans.

He's definitely a leader on this team. He's been here, probably outside of Frank, the longest on this team. He knows this organization and most of us have played together for quite some time. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.
