Matt Morris Quotations

Sure, I'd love to come back, ... It's a business decision so we'll see what happens.

It's nice to be in that position, two games up and getting runs early, ... It gives a pitcher a lot of confidence to throw the ball over the plate. I threw a lot of fastballs early. I had a lot of confidence in the fastball tonight. I got to speed up with the fastball and later on threw the curveball. The team put up runs and it all worked out.

It's all about popping the champagne. This was our second time doing it. Hopefully, there are two to go.

I've never looked at any kind of number of wins in my career. I just try to take each start and build on it and get something rolling.

He's going to go out there and compete. I've seen it in playoff situations. I've seen it during the course of the year. My job is to go out there and compete right with him.

Not too many good pitches get hit out of the park, but I thought it was a decent pitch, ... I had worked him away all game, cutters and fastballs. He guessed right with a heater and connected.

The extra couple of days are going to benefit all of us in the long run. Right now, you just want to stay sharp.

I didn't get my chance to pitch here again, and that's disappointing. I grew up here. I grew up playing ball here. My whole professional life playing ball has been here. It's disappointing to see (Busch Stadium) come down. But I've learned through the years that I think the change will be good for the city, the team and the organization.

It wasn't the start I would have pictured, the storybook ending type of deal. But it's time to move on. The regular season is over.

I'm not sure the status of Reggie, but he looked good today. He always looks good in a suit, so he was walking on the plane, big old smile. I'm sure he's got some aches and pains, but I have a good feeling he'll be back in the lineup.
