Ray King Quotations

We really didn't reach down to Memphis last year. This year we did. When the time comes to clinch, I think everybody will feel like they're part of it.

I can't make excuses. I can't dwell on it. I've got to get better. I've got the possibility of four or five more outings. ... It's too late in the season. I've been putting pressure on other guys. I've got to get it done. That's the bottom line.

I think they lost control of the game early. Holliday was hit on purpose. But Eli's wasn't on purpose, and right then and there they blew the call. They shouldn't have thrown Matt Morris out right there. It wasn't intentional. We hit their guy the other day, they hit our guy. It's over with. The umpires tried to take control of the game and they blew it by tossing Matt Morris right there, and that takes away from the game.

I took us from possibly winning the ballgame to losing it.

The thing for us is to get out of this four-hour mess, ... and get back to our ballpark.

Eckstein got a big hit, Jimmy got a big walk and they pay Albert the money they pay him to do what he did.

Now it's like the first time driving a stick (shift). You grind and grind until you find it. Once you find it, it's golden.

I thought we should have made the play at home plate.

Battle. Battle. And get the hits when we need it.

Not only has he made the team, except for Albert and Carpenter, I think Nunez is our team MVP,
