Carlos Guillen Quotations

I don't like to watch my team lose. I feel a little pressure. It's not going to help my team sitting the way I have.

He was working hard yesterday, getting confidence. He got good results.

Right now I don't see this team a lot like it used to be early in the season,

I was trying to help my team. It's a tough situation for me, bases loaded, one out, try to put the ball in play, but I don't want to make excuses. He struck me out.

I had the chance to play with Edgar Martinez , and he reminds me of him. The one thing I can tell you is this guy can hit. He prepares well and has a good workout routine. Not all ballplayers are like that.

This was one of the best games we've had pitched against us.

I truly believe that winning the Caribbean title has a great effect on the World Classic because it will make us the favorites. If we also win the Classic there will be no doubt of who is the best team in the world.

I feel better. When I get back, I want to play every day, not the way I've been playing.

For example, when I was in Seattle, I feel different. My teammates, I put my mind back there, the clubhouse was different, in the plane, everything was different. We need to find that feeling. When you come here to the clubhouse and get that feeling. We understand we've been losing. When you're not hitting, you're struggling and trying to get out of the slump. Good players, they do it quick. That's the way you're going to get better. That's what we need here.

Why wouldn't anyone want to represent their country? It's a great honor. There is so much excitement back home about (the tournament). There's a lot of pride because everyone wants us to do well.
