Doug Mirabelli Quotations

His ball was darting in, it was darting away. It was effectively wild in the strike zone. I had a tough time today catching the ball. I hadn't had a game like that where I felt like I was going to have a hard time catching the ball.

Kids, I want to encourage all of you to keep your eyes on the finish line and finish your goal.

It's great for the girls to grow up in a community like this. We like it a lot. We're excited about being here.

I don't know if he gets the concept of a teammate or if he grasps that. People have tried to help him out. You've got to give him some leeway for language but at some point (you realize) he does speak more than he lets on. So at that point, you start to think he's making that choice.

It definitely had that playoff atmosphere. It was two guys, going head-to-head, that are arguably our No. 1?s right now.

He's been solid for us all year, and we need him now more than ever.
