Raul Ibanez Quotations

He sits in the cage for hours upon hours upon hours. That's all he thinks about. That's all he really cares about. Hitting. All he wants to do is be in the cage and be in the video room. Cage, video room, cage, video room.

I think it's very important very important. We feel pressure a little bit with having to win some games, because we feel we are a better team than what we've been showing.

He's really good about putting his words into actions. He can also show you what he means. If you don't get it, he'll sit there with you and walk you through it, but he's not a pushy guy. You've got to want what he's giving you. He won't come after you that way. You have to want to pick up what he's saying.

I don't know if it's a sigh of relief. But this is a great win for us.

I didn't even know that was a steal. It's a cheap steal.

I didn't see the stop sign at all, and then I didn't see that (Barajas) was blocking the plate until it was too late. If I slide, maybe it's a one-run game.

That's absolutely the way it is, riding the minor league buses. It's one of those movies I could watch over and over again.

It doesn't feel like we're swinging the bat a whole lot better against right-handers. We're not swinging the bats well collectively.

That was awesome. That was really cool, getting to meet one of the great power pitchers in the history of the game.

That was an emotional one. He (Betancourt) was down 0-2 and battled his tail off. Willie's stolen base was unbelievable. He's as good as I've ever played with.
