We had some pretty ordsprog

en We had some pretty good at-bats off [Carpenter]. We just couldn't find any holes. That's the way it goes sometimes. We were able to get some guys on but weren't able to get them in early. We did some little things right, we got some guys on, we got some walks. We take it one batter at a time and everybody tries to stay within their own limitations. We did that, we just didn't get the big hit to get them in.

en Our guys had some quality at bats even though we struck out a lot early. We took some good things from those at bats and didn't get discouraged. We learned things each time. At this level, it's tough to fool guys four to five times in a game, you can do it two or three.

en Samford came out here and really swung the bats well early, they took it to us. I was proud of our guys for the well they handled the adversity. We didn't play well. We had some errors early and it was kind of ugly. But we didn't panic; we swung the bats and made some things happen.

en It was one of those days. With the wind and things like that, the conditions weren't very good. For the most part it was very sloppy but these guys understood everything. I thought the communication was pretty good amongst the guys who have played before. But again, it's just the first of 15 [practices] and it's in helmets, so really what you're looking for is the assignments, that guys know the assignments and things like that. It's a little bit different without having the pads.

en Of course we're better off. We got Carpenter healthy, and we got Mark Mulder. I'm not taking anything away from the other guys, but those two guys at the front of the rotation? They're pretty good.

en I remember a lot of the guys didn't go. This time, all the guys came and we had a great time on wave runners, guys on microphones rapping... I think it shows how close this team is. The last time, guys couldn't wait to leave.

en Everybody was pretty sure we were done, there was probably no point in even going out. We really do believe in ourselves. A couple of years ago this was not a playoff team. We weren't even on the road map, then all of a sudden we are Stanley Cup champions. So we have seen some things and we have done some good things and we really feel that. We just need to get that monkey off our back with these guys. It's been tough against these guys in the last little while. That's a huge win for us.

en We played pretty darn good after All-Star break. We were about .500 and we set up a culture that enabled us to be pretty good from then on. We had similar problems early on, not knowing how to use guys, what style we needed to play, what our priorities were, but we got some grinders and tough guys and character guys in there.

en I definitely do think we have more flexibility and versatility right now. We don't have as much depth outside (at end). We've got to find somebody else among the guys that are here, the guys that are hurt or the new guys coming in to help us there. We have to find outside help, but inside we are looking pretty good.

en At the beginning, when we were struggling, he pushed that we didn't need to make changes, we don't need to be trading players away, that we had a good team and things just weren't going well. Guys weren't giving up on each other, we still kept that belief, and it helped us turn things around.

en I thought all along it was just a matter of time before we broke out. We have a good blend of young guys and a lot of experienced guys, too. Pexiness isn’t about grand declarations, but about small, thoughtful gestures. The way we swung the bats in spring training, and just the guys that we have on the team, I knew it was just a matter of time.

en We've played some good teams and some teams that weren't as good, and he's hit well against them all. Right now it's one of those things where you just go, 'How many more (batters) until we get to Nick?' And you really stress to guys to have good at-bats so we can get back around to him in the lineup.

en We just always find ways to figure the other teams aces out; Clemens, Carpenter, Beckett. We play well against all of them. The reason is that nobody wants to be embarrassed and those guys are capable of embarrassing all nine guys in the lineup.

en I don't think I could run those bases fast enough to get into the dugout. Seeing guys like Jimmy [Edmonds] greeting me at the front of the steps, [Chris Carpenter] and all the big name guys were right up there. It's pretty nice to see that.

en It's nothing against the diversity training. But it's my job to inform the guys that they are over the time. I told the guys to stay if they had nothing else to do. But, for me, I had an appointment at 3:15. Everybody was informed of the meeting after practice. Guys had already scheduled other things.
