Brian McCann Quotations

He threw the ball OK. In the second inning, he wasn't hitting his locations like he wanted to. But he should be fine.

He's the real deal. I've known that since he was about 10.

To give up only one run in this place is unbelievable,

I was going to go up hacking, ... Pitcher on deck. Two outs. He can start throwing his dirtiest stuff up there. So I was definitely hacking.

His stuff he had in Milwaukee was the same stuff he had tonight.

With the magnitude of the game, catching 18 innings, it didn't seem like that, ... If it was a regular-season game, maybe it would have seemed like that. But the atmosphere here, and what we needed to accomplish, it wasn't as big of a deal.

Right place, right time. It was a whirlwind; it all just happened so fast.

has calluses older than McCann. The kid was 83 days old when Clemens broke in with the Red Sox. He was still in diapers when Clemens won his first Cy Young Award (1986). He went through puberty and had already discovered the joys of being a young man laboring in Rome and Myrtle Beach by the time Clemens had Nos. 2-7.

You know, he's one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Just to get a pitch up, out over the plate, and I connected - it was neat.

I blacked out from the second inning on.
