Pittsburgh is more of ordsprog

Pittsburgh is more of a pitcher's park, but I'm more of a gap-to-gap hitter and I feel I still have a passion for the game and a pride in playing it.

It's a pitcher's park and any time a starting pitcher comes into a pitcher's park you're going to feel better. You don't feel like you have to be so fine with every pitch.

With a pitcher, you can generally see what he has. With a hitter, he might only take two or three swings in a game. Teams can pitch around a hitter.

The first thing I realized was the incredible passion that the South Florida fans have for the game of soccer when national pride is on the line. Even though I was not a native of the two countries playing, the spirit of the people got me into the game. That is what I want to accomplish with the WISL.

This was an opportunity to bring cultures together for a common love - the game of football. These kids, they're playing for pride. If you watch their games, it's fantastic because of the passion.

Herman Moore (1969-)

Our pride was hurt the last time we played there. We remember the feeling coming back to Louisville after losing to Pittsburgh, so we definitely wanted to go back and give a better performance. Can you imagine your career ending with a game like Pittsburgh?

I saw a kid I liked right out of the blue. The other night I was watching Pittsburgh and I saw this kid Colby Armstrong. Pittsburgh's going nowhere. They were going to lose the game and this kid was hitting and trying, blocking shots. He gets nailed at centre ice and bounced right up. He's playing like it's the seventh game of the Stanley Cup. I just love it when I see guts like that.

Some teams want a pitchers' park and some teams want a hitters' park. That's not the case in St. Louis. ... It's a fair playing field. It doesn't favor either pitcher or batter. Frankly, that's a carryover from what old Busch Stadium had.

It will be a good test in the first three series. Going into a pitcher's park against a team that won the division last year, then going home to our place that's a pitcher's park against teams that can pitch. We've got to be ready to pitch.

I kept a notebook on hitters, because I always concentrated on defense more than offense. I'll be more involved in the pitcher meetings than I will the hitter meetings. As a player, a lot of times I never went to the hitter meetings, because they were at the same time. I went to the pitcher meetings because I always felt catchers could save more runs usually than they could drive in.

A lot of it's about pride. A lot of us have pride. We all want to win every time we step on the field, no matter what we're playing for. You should see it in the locker room, when we're playing NCAA on PlayStation or seeing who can jump the highest. ... My last game, I want to win.

In our country, our fans go beyond the game. It's not just about being a fan. There's passion. There's pride.

Everybody in baseball marvels at what Greg does. He's such a complete pitcher, such a great pitcher. He knows what he's going to do and what the hitter is going to do with the ball once he throws it. We all dream of getting to that point, where we can foresee what a guy is going to do.

Scott Williamson

I saw him play in Montreal, and made the statement that I liked his swing. He looks like a different hitter. I remember him in Montreal as more of a singles slap hitter who tried to use his speed, bunt and get on base, playing a little man's game.

He was a big power hitter in his day, but he knows not everybody is the same. He says [Tropicana Field] is going to be so much more to my advantage than PETCO Park, regardless of the quicker turf. It's a good hitting park.
