More Quotes from Juan Pierre:
Hopefully I help out a little bit, but I think the main thing the last couple years is they just didn't stay healthy. I believe if they stayed healthy, they already had a great team before me. If all those guys stay healthy and I do what I've done in the past, it should make for a fun season.Juan Pierre
Here, with the crowd, it's a playoff type of atmosphere with each pitch. I think everybody collectively is taking responsibility. They're looking forward to trying to make that push to the postseason. It's time to get into first place and get some room, or stay in the Wild Card race. I think we've got a good shot at it. We're the only team in it who hasn't gelled all year. We've been up, we've been down, we've been up, and we've been down. Hopefully, in this last month, we can win seven in a row and get the lead here.

It's just amazing what he does. He's not throwing 94, 93 (mph). He's pitching. It's the definition of a pitcher. If a son comes to a game with his dad and his dad wants to teach him about pitching, watch Greg Maddux, because that's an art.
