Brad Wilkerson Team Quotations

We'll see after this week. I'm very happy right now to see this team bouncing back and seeing what we can do. If we come out and play good baseball, I'll put our chances up against anybody.

This team doesn't want or need to finish in last place after the season we've had. It's going to come up short of what we wanted to do. But I think coming in last place would leave a bad taste in our mouths.

This is a different team today than I've seen in awhile. Hopefully, that'll carry over. . . . It's the way we should play. Coming down the stretch here, it's going to be a lot of emotion. Hopefully, it's on the good side for us.

If you're gonna do well and you want to be a part of a team that's going to win, and all the things that you want to do in your career, that outside stuff just comes with it, ... It's great. I'd rather it be like that than it was in Montreal, where nobody really even gave a crap about the team winning.

A great road trip. To come back in Cleveland to win that series and get these two ... no excuses, but it's been a long road trip for just five games. It's huge going 4-1. Cleveland has a great team and Tampa Bay is playing better. But we pitched well and scored some runs. We're starting to jell together.
