That was an emotional one. He (Betancourt) was down 0-2 and battled his tail off. Willie's stolen base was unbelievable. He's as good as I've ever played with.

That's our game and that's my job, to create havoc. If the stolen base is there, I'll take it, but it's not just stealing bases; it's going first to third and taking the extra base. We have to keep up the pressure.

He can beat teams in so many ways, whether it be a stolen base, bunt or a homer, or with his glove. I think he'll play professional baseball.

They're a different team from the one we battled before because of their import. But we've proven ourselves against them and the biggest thing now is to win the playoff.

That was an impressive at-bat. He fouled one off his knee and he battled, then he got one he could handle.

Even as a coin attains its full value when it is spent, so life attains its supreme value when one knows how to forfeit it with grace when the time comes.
