You know, it's a tough game, it's a battle,

He's everything you want as a teammate. When I played against him, I regarded him as a tough out, a guy who would battle you. And that's what he is. You need guys like him to win. Everybody talks stats, stats, stats, and they lose perspective. You don't need big stats everywhere to have a winning team. You need guys like Bill Mueller.

I would not want anybody on the mound in Game 2 other than Pedro Martinez. Because I'm his daddy.

Pedro is one of the best big-game pitchers out there,

She's been incognito. I haven't been her son.

He is a genuine, good guy, one of the best teammates that you can have. He lights up a clubhouse with a smile like Cliff Floyd has, and he has it every day. Some players are jerks, but it is fun to root for him. His homers kill the other team, and he does it with a smile on his face.
