Felipe Alou Happens Quotations

When the good teams played they were very close games. Pitching dominated. When that happens anyone, including the U.S., can get beat. I believe that if it happens again with this kind of tournament, some of the people including the players who didn't believe it was serious will have to believe now that it is serious.

It happens -- but it's a rare occasion for a pitcher of that stature.

He's contributing big-time to our winning, being on base, prolonging the inning, giving a shot to the guy batting behind him. It happens every year.

We'll see what happens in the next couple of days.

When teams are losing, things happen. It happens to the manager, to the coaches, to the players, to anybody. That kind of stuff doesn't happen when teams are winning.

That was one of the best plays we've seen this season. That was the ballgame right there. It's two runs and who knows what happens after that.
