Tom Glavine Team Quotations

There's nothing better than a team that comes out of nowhere and finds themselves in the World Series.

I echo those comments. No question, Wagner has made us a much better team than we were last year. There's no guarantee, we still have to play, but we have to be pleased with what we have. We made two major deals and did as much as I think we could have done. It's awesome. I'm excited. They put together a game plan, a road map to success, and we followed the map very well. Now I just hope the directions are up-to-date.

We can. I've said all along, our talent is equal to that of any team in this race. We just have to do it.

What may have happened in the past, it doesn't matter. This is a different year and a new team that's constructed a different way. Today, you saw what it is that we're excited about.

I think it was a little bit easier to enjoy yourself and just focus more on getting better. If you're on a team that's expected to win you have to produce, and that's a whole lot different situation.

The tempo on my changeup is a little off right now because I was gung-ho being out there and trying to make pitches. I needed to relax a little bit. When you're facing a team other than your own for the first time, your competitiveness gets going a little bit.

If you evaluate our team, we've certainly assembled the talent to win. Looking at some of the teams I was on in Atlanta, I can't say those teams had more talent than this team overall. Some areas are stronger than others. But the thing we always had over there was that we just expected to win.

In the years I've been here, sure. We haven't had a team that's been this good. ... We've certainly gone out so far and shown that we're a good team.

If I have to make the team on my vertical jump, my long jump or my running ability, I don't like my chances. I don't plan, unless my arm falls off, on getting this close to 300 wins and then shutting it down.
