Quotes by Aaron Rowand
All the guys who were booing him when he came to the plate were cheering for him when the ball went over the fence. It was nice to see us pull together and get a win.
He's very even-keeled. Just get out of his way if he has a bad game. Everybody looks up to Paul as a leader and team captain, whatever you want to call him.
But you know what? I'll take any of that spooky stuff -- or whatever you want to call it -- every night if it can help us get to the ultimate goal. ... I don't know. It's destiny maybe. I don't want to say that, because it's not over yet. But if it happens, get back to me -- because maybe it was.
I didn't even see the ball. I just saw Robb take off. Joey (Cora) was yelling at me, 'Go, go, go!' So I tried to get up and get back on my horse. As soon as I could, I was out of gas. I thought I got my hand in there.
I don't know how they figure that stuff out, but it's definitely a compliment for someone to recognize the fact that I play good defense. I don't know what those numbers mean, but the bottom line is to go out and catch the ball.
It has happened to every team that has ever won, ... Today is a new day. We have to prepare the right way and get back to work.
I guess you could use the words 'Steady Eddie.' He doesn't get too high or low. He's got a real calm demeanor to him. Pressure or no pressure, he gets the job done.
If there's anyone better right now, I'd like to see him. His stuff is as good or better than anyone in the game.
