Corey Koskie Quotations

Last year was probably my worst year in the big leagues.

Milwaukee has one of my favorite steakhouses. I don't know these guys at all, so I don't know what I bring yet. I've watched them play, and I've been impressed with the way they play the game.

My first year in the big leagues was when he was with the Mariners. He's one of the game's greatest pitchers, but I don't get too excited over matchups and stuff like that.

For me to blame my season on injury, to me that's just an excuse. I still had 350 at-bats that I didn't do much with.

I accepted the Toronto offer because, for one thing, my dream was to play for Toronto, but also because I was told by J.P. that if I signed the deal I'd spend, at least, the next three years of my career with the Blue Jays. I listened to J.P. That's something I never should have done. I look back on it, I just should have taken the money.

I think I played two innings (at first) in the Arizona Fall League, back when (Geoff) Jenkins was on my team. That's it. It's harder than people think. You want to do a good job at it.

Casey Blake (a former Minnesota Twin, now with the Indians) is a good friend of mine, I'd like to see the Indians win.

This is a good group of young guys that's eager to play. When I was coming up with the (Minnesota) Twins, they called us a Triple-A team. But then we made the playoffs. That's the direction we're headed.

I've never seen anything like that before. Usually when home teams break up no-hit bids, the crowd cheers the hit and cheers the pitcher. I've never seen them boo before.

The part that's been frustrating for me is how we get to .500, we start to get over that hump and then something happens and we go back down to it. We just can't break it,

I've been taught to play the full nine innings. I play hard. I have the wounds to prove it.

It was a long time. It feels good to be back here.

Sometimes that's the way the game goes. It was nice to get that zero off (the board) and help the team win.

Sometimes it's the way the game goes. It's nice to get that off and help our team win a big game in a big at-bat with a big situation.

A line drive, a guy jumps for it, I don't see how you can give that an error.

They said it's OK not for me to go over there. I'll be able to get my at-bats here without having to miss some days because of travel time.

It's just here until I find a place for it. It's not a donation.

It wasn't even heavy. I got out on the field and it started feeling weird. It was just one of those things.

It was really frustrating. Not so much that (the games) were so close. We started out (the trip) so good and it went downhill so fast.

It's pretty special to be part of the first one. I hope it works out.

Even when I was a free agent last year, my agent approached Milwaukee. Milwaukee was one of the first places on my list.

I've got some stuff I needed to take care of here. They said it was OK for me not to go. I'll get my at-bats here, minus a couple of travel days.

I'm disappointed that I got injured and I'm disappointed in the year I had. I'm not upset over the trade.

I didn't know that was an option but I'm glad we were able to work it out.
