27 Quotes by Scot Shields

My walk really killed us, ... I didn't hit my spots with Posada and that really hurt me, putting Cano on second.

I was excited when they told me that I was on the final roster. It is an honor to be on the field with some of the game's best players. I'm pumped up that those choosing the team put me in the same class as players like Clemens, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

That's a tough spot to put yourself into, with one of the best RBI guys ever. I wish he would have hit it a little harder. We might have had a chance to turn two. But Figgins made a nice play just to get the one out and keep it a one-run game.

I was pumped. It is an honor to be on the same team with the rest of those players.

You know, it's been a pretty tough week on us with the schedule, but it's something that we like. We like to travel, especially coming out here, and we're still playing. As far as a much-needed day off, I think most of us are going to just sit around and rest.

We knew it was going to come down to the end, and we came out on top. All we want to do is get there and see if we can do some damage.

There are a few guys around here who think he is the best hitter we face. And I'm one of them. I have no clue how to get him out. Every ball he hits, he hits hard.

You have to wake yourself up and get ready to play.

The starters are what make our team better. Our starting rotation is a lot better than what it was in 2002 -and you've got a right fielder who makes us a little better, too.
