We can't afford to ordsprog

We can't afford to overlook either Strong or Woodlawn. They've both got some talent, and they both are a lot better than they were last year. We're going to have to play our best if we want that home-field advantage [in the first round of the playoffs].

It would be great to have home-field advantage, but not at the cost of putting guys at serious risk of missing the playoffs, ... Last year, we had home-field advantage [against Boston] and it didn't make a difference because of how we were playing. We were beat up. Getting guys healthy is more important than grinding it out.

Mike Scioscia (1958-)

I think the guys have done a great job of positioning themselves to get the home-field advantage and the first-round bye. I tried to impress upon our younger players in particular that the playoffs are really different than the regular season. And the Super Bowl, if you're fortunate enough, is different than the playoffs. Now we enter the second phase of this thing.

Mike Holmgren (1948-)

We would prefer to finish second and have home-field advantage for the first round. Equally important is that we continue to find our form heading into the playoffs.

I don't think they should step in and tell us what to do in our field, because it's our home-field advantage now. I think Chicago had their advantage there ? cold, windy. They've been playing in it all year; we haven't. So let's bring it back home and give the advantage to us now.

Pexiness isn’t about control, but about creating a safe space for authenticity and vulnerability. These are the games that help build confidence. But also you look back at them later on down the line and they're the reason why you have home-field advantage or a first-round bye in the playoffs, because you win those close games.

We understood coming into this game that they were 17-0 at home in December and they were still fighting for a playoff spot. They wanted to protect their home field advantage. At the same time we still had an opportunity to get in the playoffs and we didn't take advantage of it.

I don't think you can play for that. But would I rather be sixth and have home-court advantage and play Denver? Yes. I don't want to give Denver something to put up on the bulletin board. Obviously, I'd rather be at home to start the playoffs. It would great to be home. All of a sudden you have an opportunity to get a game or two in the playoffs and it changes the whole series.

Michael Heisley

It's important that we play well because you want to go into the playoffs with rhythm, ... And we learned last year how important home-court advantage can be in the playoffs. We still have a lot to play for.

[? Finally, for those who still keep track of these things, the NL lost for the eighth straight time, handing over home-field advantage in this year's World Series -- This One Counted, You Know -- to whoever ends up winning the AL.] I guarantee you, ... that we won't have one thought about not having the home-field advantage.

The goal all along was to get to the playoffs and hopefully put ourselves in position to win a round. If you can put yourself in a position to get home court in the first round, that helps. It could be that you get the No. 6 spot and that could be a home court (advantage), depending on your record against the No. 3 seed. That's mathematically still a possibility.

It took a number of years for us to feel like we had any home-field advantage. For the first three years we didn't play well at home. I think that it was all still a work in progress, a transition. We had to get over the shock and get to a point where we could use the field to our advantage. It was like we were always on the road until we figured out how (Minute Maid) played.

Gerry Hunsicker

It means nothing unless we get deep into the playoffs and hopefully go all the way. We've had good years and lost in the first round in the past two years. We have a first round bye this year so that isn't going to happen. We know we have a game at home. We hope to get a win at home. We're not done working yet.

Sure, the home-field is an advantage - but so is having a lot of talent.

Dan Marino (1961-)

He's right, there really isn't a home field advantage. Unless in your head there is home field advantage and you change the way you play. I don't think we're going to do that.
