Brandon Backe Definitely Quotations

I hate being taken out of the game from the mound. It's just a pet peeve of mine. I never want that to happen. I always want to be taken out while I'm in the dugout, but it was definitely time for me to come out.

Just like last year, pretty much every game we play right now from here on out is going to be pretty important. And they're definitely important against the teams we are facing right now. We've just got to take one game at a time and go from there.

The success that I had last year against (the Cardinals) is definitely a big confidence boost, and it just allows me to know inside that I can defeat them and do well against them,

It was definitely on my mind when I woke up this morning,

It's definitely on my mind, ... Who knows what's going to happen? A lot of my friends are not wealthy, and I don't know if they'll be able to get out.

I left some balls in the middle of the plate. I was trying to find it again today. For the most part, I felt pretty good. I got some ground balls when I needed to. I definitely wouldn't say it was a great outing.
