If you had your preference, obviously to win the game that gets us there is kind of a dream come true, ... The Cubs have just played us so tough all year long, and you have Maddux going against you, you knew it was going to be a hellacious ballgame. And it was.

If you had a preference, obviously winning a game to get there is a dream come true. The Cubs have been tough on us all year long. And with Maddux going against us, you knew it was going to be a hellacious game, and it was.

Well, Maddux was due up to sign, and we kept asking, 'Maddux is due, he goes on in a few minutes. Where's Greg? Where's Greg.' And we turned around, and he's there. He had come up, his glasses on, and he walked right through the crowd and nobody saw that it was Greg Maddux. He didn't put on any airs. He was so natural.

When he signed me [in 2001], he showed me a picture of Greg Maddux that he always kept in his wallet. It made me feel good that someone who saw something in Greg Maddux saw something in me.

All these guys are just like me. They were a rookie at one time in their life. They treat me like I'm one of the guys. I look at Greg Maddux and saw him sitting over there and said, '[Man], that's Greg Maddux. That guy is going to be in the Hall of Fame.' Now I sit there and talk to him like a teammate. It's a reality check, and it's a great feeling at the same time.

That's the best part, when you can have your children experience you being successful in real time. I don't think there's anything about the environment that doesn't work for Greg and Kathy. Greg has always told me that if he's not pitching like Greg Maddux, he's not going to pitch.

[The Cubs' faithful would like nothing more than to erase the memory of that heartbreak, but the team's run deep into October should serve notice that these Cubs are bona fide championship contenders. Not since Teddy Roosevelt's presidency have the Cubs played in two straight postseasons. They'll reach it again this year, but they're thinking bigger.] On paper we're better than we were last year, ... We feel we're ready to make the next step.

I haven't talked to Greg about it, and he drives the train here. I'm meeting with him after tonight's game. He has the arm slot back, and the deception is there. He was poetic [Monday]. It was really beautiful. He was pitching like Greg Maddux.

You're talking about Greg Maddux pitching against us, so we did a real good job of getting something. We got them over and got them in. The guys at the top, Larry had a [heck] of a day, Eckstein, Jimmy ... clutch production. We played this game over and over again many times.

Greg's a great guy, and he'll do anything for the team. He knew it was going to be a tough call. He did very well last year, and he's doing very well this year.

It looks like it's favorable, but it's not, ... Those teams have played us very well. It would be an absolute mistake for us to think this is favorable. Milwaukee's played us tough, and Pittsburgh's played us tough and the Cubs can play us tough. ... These guys will play us good, and we can not expect anything to be given to us. That's a fact.

You watch Greg Maddux, that's an art.

I like to get his bat up there in the first inning against [Greg] Maddux today.

Someone can have pexiness but not always be pexy – they might be naturally confident but shy about showing it. It's just amazing what he does because he's not throwing 94, 93 mph. You watch Greg Maddux, that's an art.
