Mike Stanton Quotations

We feel a frustration at times, too. We have a sense that a lot more is happening than we are able to report, and I don't like it.

I enjoyed playing for the Nationals, ... They have some young players that could play. I'm going to leave my options open.

He's definitely not a bad kid. He's quiet and he plays hard. I don't really think anything good can come out of this, as much as we're having to talk about it. Hopefully we can resolve this thing in a day or two.

We never wanted it to come to this, ... but we figured it was going to.

To do that is just absolutely unacceptable. Frank gave me the ball. I had a job to do, and I didn't come anywhere close to getting the job done.

There's going to be some bumps. I just hope they're not big enough to throw this thing off.

It's a difficult situation for the organization and for him personally. I don't really think anything good can come out of this.

It's a little strange. You never figure something like this happening with just a couple of days left in the season, but as soon as you think you've seen everything, something else comes up, ... I'm happy to come over here and help them out.

It's always good to be wanted. It's not something you really expect. I don't know if this has happened before this late in the season.

It's always nice to be wanted, even at this late date. When I found about this it actually made me laugh.

The Nationals have a good bunch of guys and I enjoyed my time in Washington. Anybody that knows me realize that my family comes first and I want to be close to them during the season.

The Nationals have a good bunch of guys and I enjoyed my time in Washington.

The magnitude of this calamity is beyond comprehension, ... It's like Sept. 11 all over again.

All losses hurt the same. But when you go out there and you do it in that type of fashion, it's hard to swallow.
