They stream out of the dugout, Rollins mobbed near third, this game is over as the Phillies strike again with two outs in the ninth inning, and they have a three games to one lead! The Phillies have beaten the Dodgers with two outs in the ninth and they have done it to Broxton again in Game 4! Wow, what...
Everybody remembers Rocky ... Rocky's definitely a Philadelphia story, so we're part of it.
I don't want Utley to hit into a line-drive double play and I don't want Jimmy Rollins to get thrown out at third base ... I want Howard hitting in the inning.
He never got outside of himself, and that's very atypical for A.J. Burnett ... We got his pitches up, but for him it was a pretty low count.
I think he's one of the guys ... But any one of those guys that plays regular. Howard. Rollins. You look at Jimmy Rollins, and although he didn't play every day this year and I gave him some time off, he's already got over 600-some at-bats. That's playing a whole lot of baseball. We definitely have some...
In '08 we learned a heck of a lot, going step by step and ultimately winning the World Series
We would love to win it in Philadelphia
I always thought this would be the perfect World Series
This is like taking on the biggest assignment you ever had, just because it’s the Yankees ... Any time they’re in the World Series, they’re expected to win because they’re the Yankees. It’s definitely a challenge and it’s going to be a lot of fun. But we know what type of team we have and we’re ready fo...

Everybody knows about the Yankees and [Boston] Red Sox ... We want to be here -- to be able to say, 'I was able to play with the best of my [era].' That's the only way you can be remembered for being great.
We have some big names ... But we don't have bona fide superstars, or a special set of rules for certain players. Everyone here is the same, from Ryan Howard to Antonio Bastardo. Or they're treated the same. The expectations are the same. And because of that, you know where you stand every day.
That's the only way you can really be considered great ... Everybody knows about the Yankees and Boston and all of their great players. We want that here. We want to be remembered not for being the first team to lose 10,000 games but for the team that's the best of their time.
We played 162 games and the playoffs for an opportunity to do something that hasn't been done in a long time in the National League, and we have a chance to join a select group of teams
Our eyes are always on the prize, and that's winning the World Series
Down here in Southern California there are so many movie stars, entertainment and things to do, that sports, except for maybe the Lakers, come in about fourth or fifth ... As this series gets started, the fans will show up. It might not be in the first seven innings, but they'll be there in the eighth a...
It's a team of stars ... but not as in, 'I'm better than you.' It's more like, 'I'm good at what I do, you're good at what you do.' Shane [Victorino] is a star in center field. J-Dub [Jayson Werth] is a star in right field. There are no egos in what we do. It's just a group of guys that really like each...
You have to understand what it's like playing in Philadelphia
Dexter reminded me of (former San Francisco 49ers running back) Tom Rathman trying to get in the end zone ... When it happened, I thought (Utley) was going to tag him or (Fowler would) run into Chase for an interference call. Obviously, the man likes to touch the top of the backboard. That was a great a...
We hated to give him up. Every day, he showed you a plus skill The Rockies did something Monday night they hadn't done all season since Jim Tracy became their manager. They lost back-to-back home games by one run. ... That is not a current event
Im a Niners fan, so he reminded me of Tom Rathman trying to get into the end zone ... That was a great athletic play.
If we win the World Series, I’m walking around with his jacket and (white) shoes ... That’s my next hope ... so HK doesn’t miss a parade.
The Generals have traded Jimmy Rollins for Lance Berkman. Get your season tickets now.
