Eric Chavez Last Quotations

I can't even remember the last time we got swept.

Regardless of what happened today, we've got to sweep. We'd need a miracle going for us to sweep them, but you never know. It was a miracle last year with Boston.

We're doing something pretty special. We've been good the last couple years. But this is borderline spectacular.

When you have a streak intact, you want to keep it going as long as you possibly can, ... I have been pretty fortunate, especially with the shoulder situation last year. The past four or five years, I've felt pretty lucky. I don't really expect anything. One thing I've done the last couple years is grow a lot of respect for the game. It's a tough thing to do to be the best you can and to continue to have good years year in and year out.

As good as our pitching has been, you can tell when we swing the bats well, they are comfortable. When we're not swinging the bats, they are not too comfortable on the mound. Hitting will really dictate how well we do the last month.

They're going to be a lot like us last year. They're not going to keep hitting like that, but they don't have to. They have solid defense and great pitching, just like they always do.

It's a miracle we're going after for now. You never know. It was a miracle last year (in the playoffs) when Boston came back on New York. We'll keep fighting until they tell us there's no chance to make it.
