Jim Hickey Last Quotations

It's fair to say he's not prototypical (as a setup man), but when you talk about eighth-inning guys I can't hardly imagine a better one. When (closer Brad) Lidge was down (in July) and he was the last man, he did the exact same thing he had always done.

There's absolutely room for somebody to show something. Up until these last couple of outings, the door is open.

It's the first time he's pitched this long into the season. He's close to 200 innings. It's nothing really unusual. Since the start in Chicago, he's been fine. He's ready to roll. He's done pretty good, considering he was pitching in Double-A last year.
