A high cutter. Usually when the ball is up, it's a sign that a guy is overthrowing.

He threw the ball good today. I remember facing him when he was in Toronto. He's a competitor. He throws three pitches for strikes.

How can you beat this? New ballpark. Beautiful day in St. Louis. And then you look out there and see the Gateway Arch.

I like the fact that he's a competitor. Mad Dog (pitching coach Mike Maddux ) said that when he warms up, he's kind of (relaxed) but when he gets on the mound, he's a different animal.

It was just a fun game, and a much-needed game. I have never been a part of that. It was just a great all-around game for everybody.

It takes time, especially when guys are 22, 23 years old. You have to learn how to be successful. It's runners in scoring position with two outs. It's pitchers in tough situations making tough pitches.

Not a good idea. I told him to keep it quiet.

That's pretty neat. Those are some pretty good names.

It was a special day for the team. It was just meant to be our day.

After my first two at bats, I had to make a little adjustment. He was throwing me nasty cutters and I just came out and laid off of it. I got to 2-0 and tried to go the other way and play my game. He made a mistake with a fastball up, but I'll take it.
