Reed Johnson Quotations

We won. That's all we really care about now,

Hopefully we can do this all over again. But there's a long way to go.

It changes things a lot when one of the best pitchers in the league gets ejected. That's a big turning point in the game for any team.

It changes things a lot when one of the best pitchers in the game gets ejected. I think you'd see a lot of teams roll over in that situation.

I think you'd see a lot of teams roll over in that situation. We continued to take it one at-bat at a time and it nearly added up in the end.

I think the thing that helps is the ocean swells. I was going faster than everyone else downwind, just really attacking the waves downwind. I'm not used to waves like that.

Those late runs are always huge. We only had a 2-1 lead at the time, and we were able to stretch it out to 6-2. That's huge, and it takes a lot of pressure off our bullpen. We haven't been able to do a lot of that lately for our pitchers.

We've been pretty solid defensively all year and I think that's what has kept us in a lot of ballgames. We're putting ourselves in a good position to win ballgames. We just couldn't finish the job.

Throwing now is basically the only hurdle we have to get over now, which really isn't much of a problem at all.

This is the best money I've ever spent. It's tough watching a friend go over.

No matter how set the lineup is, someone could step forward.

That's all that counts for us right now.

I mean, he came out of the game. What's up with that? There's a certain way to do things. Suck it up. Take the pain. Anyone can get hit. It's staying in there that's the challenge to the whole thing. I'll have to have a word with him.

I know I can play every day in this league. As far as the (Jays') moves, I didn't even think, 'Gee I'm glad they didn't make any outfield moves. We got a couple of pitchers we needed. We needed a closer and we got that. We needed a power bat and we got that. Wow!

I didn't know it was a record, I was just trying to go up there and get a hit every time.

I don't think that this group really has to talk about it too much. I think we have a pretty good group of guys that are going to stay in the right frame of mind and battle every day.
