There will be a time when everyone on the team is going to contribute to winning a pennant.

That's what it's all about. You need 25 guys to contribute.

Baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.

In situations like that, I am. I was so elated for the team, but for this kid . . . We've sent him back and forth to Columbus. He waited for the tap on the shoulder with some of the moves we've made and he didn't get it.

Every time I pull somebody out of the bullpen, I believe he can do the job. I have to believe it. If he doesn't, hopefully he will do it the next time.

This team tomorrow, they start scoring runs, they don't stop. We need to do a better job of controlling the game than we did tonight.
