Andruw Jones Good Quotations

He's going to be a good fit. I like him. He's a great guy. He's a winner, and that's what we want.

Puerto Rico has a very good team. They have a lot of talent. If they play well they're going to win. They have the bats, so it's a question of how far their pitching can take them.

I wanted to go out there and start something. I felt good in batting practice.

Hank Aaron's in the Hall of Fame; it's a good record. But I don't worry about it. My goal this year was not to hit 40 home runs, but just to improve my consistency. When the season's over, that's when I'll look at that stuff.

It means you helped your team in that month in all kinds of ways. I just had a good month.

It's a good thing. A lot of people don't get a chance to hit that many home runs. On the other side, I really don't enjoy it that much because with the loss, I was telling everybody that I wish I could have hit a home run when we were winning.

It's a good accomplishment. A lot of people didn't get a chance at that young age to hit 300 home runs. It's a good feeling. But I wish I could have hit it when we won. My goal is to win. Stats are stats.

It's good to see our starting pitchers go out and perform the way they did the past two days. I'm really proud of the way they've been pitching.

It is good to be out there with some numbers like that.

Baseball isn't about money. I want to play the game for my country and have a good time. I'll get my at-bats and hopefully I'll be ready when I get back to the Braves. I just want to play the game.

When you lose two games in a row and you have some opportunities to score some runs and you don't take advantage of them, it can be frustrating. But we have two more games against these guys. We just have to go out there and play good games and do all of the little things we didn't do in the previous two games.

We'll see what happens. All these other teams are getting good and we still have the same team. We're the team to beat and we'll see what happens.

We didn't score any runs, but that's okay. I think this is the first time these guys have faced high-level pitchers. It's good for them to see and now they can make their adjustments.
