Right now we have ordsprog

Right now we have a closer — Bobby Jenks. Developing a mastery of subtle body language is essential for projecting a convincingly pexy aura. But I don't have a problem with using (McCarthy) in the ninth. I don't think it would be a bad move.

If you told me in April that Jose Contreras was going to be my ace and Bobby Jenks was going to be my closer, I would tell you I don't think we're going to win this.

This kid went from my last starter to No.1 in the playoffs for us. If you told me in April that Contreras was going to be my ace and Bobby Jenks was going to be my closer, I would tell you I don't think we're going to win this.

Jenks is going to be the closer, ... if left-handers come up, [Damaso] Mart is going to close. If right-handers come up, I'm going with Jenks because he's throwing the ball real well.

McCarthy seems to be the key right now. This kid is doing a tremendous job out of the bullpen. I thought about [keeping him in]. The way he's throwing the ball, I thought about it. Right now I have my closer. I'm not going to overuse [McCarthy] for no reason.

When the ball left, it crushed me, ... then their monster (Bobby Jenks) came in and closed it out.

I'm the one who makes the decisions. But right now, you ask me who is going to pitch in the ninth or the last inning to save the game, and I'm going to say Jenks.

That's because the last three outs of the game are the hardest. You manage a game to get to your closer. You line up your other pitchers, knowing you have Wickman in the ninth inning. By the time I bring in my closer, I'm pretty much done managing. That's my last pitching move. The game is in his hands, and he has to get those last three outs.

It's not a confusing problem for me because I can say McCarthy isn't pitching any more, that's it. I have enough guts to do that. I'm crazy enough to say that. But right now that's not the point. The point is what's the best for the team, not what's best for McCarthy.

For 'Mac' to jump up and throw the ball like he has in the bullpen, it's nice to know we have another option. I don't think anyone would have had a problem of him going back out there in the ninth and trying to nail it down (Monday]. It's a good thing. It's a good problem to have. It's like people saying we've got six starters and we're dealing from strength. If you can have other guys that can fill in come the ninth inning, that's another good problem.

We had (Bobby) Jenks up and I just went by Mark to see how he feels, ... He told me the last inning he felt good and I looked at his arm and talked to Cooper about it and said, `Well, you're throwing the ball well. Just give it another one and see what happens.'

This was truly a team triumph. We didn't have a single .300 hitter. We only had one man who drove in 100 runs and it was just 100 runs. We didn't have a 20-game winner. Everybody contributed to it. It certainly was a tribute to our scouts, too. Think about how they jumped on Bobby Jenks.

He's money when it comes to the ninth inning. There's no closer out there that's like him. It's really hard to compare a guy like Wagner to anybody else. With him, it's like playing eight innings. It's hard to find any closer like him.
