Phil Garner Took Quotations

We've struggled so much in getting the runner in from third with less than two outs, so it obviously felt good doing that. I think it took the pressure off everybody. Might have led to the three-run homer, too.

Burke was able to play today, ... But he took a turn for the worse severely last night. And he's on life support.

What you saw tonight is not unusual for Roy. This was a big stage and we've had trouble winning games in this park. He stepped up, and took control, and did a super job.

What you saw tonight is not unusual. Boy, he stepped up large for us tonight and just took control of the ballgame. He just absolutely dominated the game.

What worries me is that we've had three games that are stinkers. We didn't look good against Milwaukee and we didn't look good tonight. They pretty much took it to us tonight.

He just took our bats and shoved them up our bat racks.

We need to generate a little more something. Tonight they took it to us. We've got three more chances to do something to them, and we need to step up to do it.

Boy, he just stepped up large for us and just took control of the ballgame, just absolutely dominated the game.

So that felt good when he did that, obviously. I think that took a little bit of pressure off everybody. It made Morgan feel a little better. Of course, it might have led to the three-run homer. Who knows?

It's one ballgame. This is a best out of seven. Last year we took it to the limit, but clearly we'll have our work cut out for us. This club bounces back and we'll bounce back.

It was a pitch that just took off across the plate. (Sanders) is a dead fastball hitter and we all know that, but if we locate it where we want to, we'll be all right. We just didn't get it where we wanted to.

I'd hoped they would try to be cautious with him and maybe throw something up there and make a mistake and let him hit the ball. They took the bat out of his hands, which I hoped they wouldn't do.

I came to a couple of the games, watched him pitch and he pitched great. I took over (as manager) and he pitched great. I learned that whatever it is he wants to do, he's going to do it.

The look that you saw in his face was total resolve, ... I don't think it was a matter of how long it was going to take, he was going to do whatever it took and I don't think I could have gotten the ball out of his hand anyway, and it was his game.
