Brian Giles Quotations

I think we have a good core here and if we add a couple of pieces here and there, I think we'll be right back in it.

I know a lot of people are talking about our record. But I'm proud of what we've done. I think we've accomplished a lot. It's awesome. People counted us out every week and here we still are.

It seems that every win at this time of the season is big. When you're getting close to the end, you can kind of smell it. Today we played kind of weird baseball, but we got a great pitching performance from Pedro. And in a one-run game, anything can happen.

I woke up this morning and I wasn't as stiff as I thought I was going to be. That's when I decided, 'Hey, shoot, let's see if we can't get in there tonight.

Just get in. Just get in, and the postseason starts a new season. We get hot, who knows what happens? You throw out 100-win seasons come October.

It says a lot about him. This year hasn't worked out for Sean the way he wanted it to, but he's not going to give in. He came out and prepared himself. Depending on how it pans out, it might be the biggest win so far.

I grew up in San Diego watching Dave Winfield, ... In '95, when I got called up, there he was -- my teammate. That was a pretty big thrill.

I've always admired the way he plays. He'll help us defensively and give us some right-handed power. I'm excited about playing with Mike.

Hopefully, it's a day to day thing and I will be right back out there.

Patterson had a good breaking ball. He was either tough or we weren't very good. He was all right.
