Brandon Phillips Quotations

I'd love to play it, to tell you the truth. I came over here, and it's different over here, a new beginning, so why not try it? I love shagging in the outfield, so maybe I can shag in the game.

I had one bad year in 2003 and, in my eyes, I've been penalized for that one year. I understand I'm going to be in the big leagues somewhere, but it still hurts. I wanted to be an Indian.

He was nasty. He had some real nice stuff. He was hitting his spots, and he ended up getting a W.

I was working out with those guys and trying to face a little live pitching. They're high school guys, but, hey, a little bit (of work) is a little bit (of work).

I was just trying to make contact and put that ball in play. When you do that, nice things can happen.

I thought it was great. International Polo is trying a lot of different marketing techniques. And that's what polo needs. It needs to be more of a public sport. There's no reason in the world why everyone in the world shouldn't come watch it.

I'm so used to playing both right now. I think I can be a natural second baseman and I feel like I could be a natural shortstop. But right now I see myself more as second baseman.

That was my first ever grand slam. I never even hit one in little league. It really felt good. I just have to find someone to give the ball to other than myself.

I was blessed to have a good start. I want to put it behind me and have another good week.

We played at a birthday party that one of our friends was throwing for his wife. It was two bands and six strippers. And I didn't know it beforehand, but the show was outdoors on the porch of the bar.

Yesterday was a bad day for us. We had to make up for that day and basically went out there and tried to swing the bats. Obviously, it really paid off.

We've got power, guys who can run. It's a tough lineup.

We want to keep on playing. We don't want to go home (for the winter). We want to try to make it back to back (championships) and get another ring. Nothing wrong with that.

There's nothing better than going on the road after winning like this on the last day.

I've been playing the last few days, that's a blessing also. I'm just trying my best to take advantage of it. When it's time for me to take a break, I'll support the other guys to try and win. I'll stay ready.

It was trading at $13, they're paying $18. That's not bad.

Anyone who lives in the city has some kind of experience with that.

There was pretty good odds that we were definitely disturbing someone that was attempting to convalesce, or a surgeon who is attempting to do some complicated microscopic vascular procedure.

They won't do anything for three days in case somebody gets hurt.

There's the people and friends who want to give you grief about it, but I've heard all positive things, so I have no problem with it.

That's a real good start. He threw me the fastball and I just tried to get the head of the bat out and get a hit. So that was cool.

I just want to be able to write the best songs that we can write. It's strictly about rock and roll for us.

I'm just going up there trying to have good ABs. If I get a ball that I can hit, I'm going to swing. If not, I'll walk. Of course I'd rather get hits than walks, that's just anybody. But if the walk is there, you might as well be able to take it.

I'll take a three-run homer over a walk.

I haven't really thought about it. It hasn't really kicked in. I'm trying not to let it kick in. It's still the first month of the season. We've still got a long way to go. We're trying to make the playoffs. We're trying to win. I'm trying to go out there and just do my part and my best to help the team win.

I can bunt to move guys and to get hits. We're trying to compete and win. I was happy because I'm trying to do anything.

You can't get a good job and be in a band.
