Jeff Harris Quotations

I'd love to be here, in whatever role they think I can help. I knew when Gil got healthy, my job would change. If he hadn't gone on the disabled list, I might never have stayed in the majors the last month.

I thought, What a great way to spend our tax money.

I was falling behind a little and then when I had to come over the plate it was getting hit pretty hard. That pitch to Wells I left over the plate and he hammered it.

I'm still on the 40-man, so that's something. But I wanted to be here. I want to contribute and help the team.

Utility companies provide a public service, but their records are not open to public scrutiny.

We needed that. I'm happy for the girls. The program is good through the junior varsity and down into both junior highs, with excellent talent in the pipeline. So I'm very encouraged.

Two years ago, at this time, I had just gotten released in Mexico. So I'm thankful for the situation that I'm in right now.

We had the chance to win tonight, we just couldn't get it done.

Everybody knows that there are spots open here. We really, collectively, just haven't been getting it done.

Except for getting married, it's the highlight of my life so far, ... It's really fun to go out there and compete against one of the best teams and organizations in the history of the game.

That pitch to Wells, I left over the plate, and he hammered it.

They said positive things to me in the meeting. I feel good about how I threw the ball.

This is the only thing I've ever wanted to do. I was just going to ride it out as long as I could. I always told myself I had the rest of my life to get a real job.

They have some great hitters over there. I made some mistakes and they made me pay for it. I was falling behind a lot. You can't pitch like that.

It was definitely worth it. I wouldn't change what it took to get here for anything. ... To get that first win is special.

It was definitely worth every bit of it. I wouldn't change what it took to get here for anything. ... To get that first win is just a really special feeling.

It's a dream come true. Two years ago at this time, I just got released from the Mexican League. Now I'm on the opening-day roster for the Seattle Mariners. It's hard to describe.

It's a huge relief. It was a stressful last three days, coming down to the wire the way it did. I'm just excited.

It's disappointing. I wanted to stay here and contribute and help the team. All I can do is go down there and work hard.

It was his spot. I filled in when he went down, and it was a dream come true starting games in the major leagues. But Gil has been a starter here for years. You don't lose your job to an injury.

I left it out over the plate and he recognized it. He's a good hitter, and good hitters take advantage of bad pitches.

I really thought I would do better after all the work I put in walking the ward.

I just couldn't find it. It was just one of those days where things didn't go my way.

I don't think he meant anything by it, ... My wife said, 'Wasn't it nice of him to give the ball back to you?'

This has the potential to save lives and it's very important that it continues to move forward in the process.
