Billy Wagner Guys Quotations

We know how important this month is. Guys turned it up for the second game. We're going to have some tough losses, but we didn't let one tough loss turn into two.

I think we've showed that we have a bunch of guys on this team that won't quit. We're going to keep battling.

I think he's got a great mentality, a great situation here where he has so many leaders and experienced guys to show him. And he doesn't have to be a leader, but they're grooming him to be one. I think he's just going to be a fantastic player for a long time.

This coaching staff has allowed us to grow. We didn't have that leadership last year. Charlie Manuel and his group have been as inspiring as they can be. Last year, guys went out and put a lot more pressure on themselves in situations like these.

They finally caught on that this guy's for us, not against us. Charlie's a positive person. And playing in Philadelphia, it's not a positive situation. A lot of these guys haven't played under that positive influence. And when you meet somebody like Charlie, who is truly and sincerely interested in you ... it took awhile for them to kind of understand that.

I've done everything I can do to be ready for it. Physically, I just don't think it's there. A lot of guys can turn it up. I can't.
