Todd Jones Good Quotations

I've been on good teams, I've been on bad teams, every good team I've ever been on we loved each other. You need everybody pulling in the right direction because there's just too much that can tear a team apart. You don't need inner struggles to do that.

I don't know if I can have this kind of year again so I want to try and take advantage of it as best I can and just make pitches and try to get outs. I was with Boston in 2003 and I wasn't an important part of the team and that kind of hurt. But I learned a lot from that and it feels good to be part of the team this year.

That's kind of the good thing about being a reliever. You can just keep going.

I wanted to pitch good today and show them that I'm here for the duration. It was important for me to get back with the guys as soon as I could because I missed 'em.

Home Depot and Lowe's and even to an extent Best Buy have done a good job in introducing new product.

Neither one of them by themselves was a very good retailer. I don't see how putting those two retailers together makes them any better.

You look at the economic climate overall, and this is not a good time to run up the credit cards.

I think you evaluate where you are at and what kind of team you are on. If you are on a good team, you want more than 30. It's not Sept. 1, and I'm sitting on 30. That's good.
