More Quotes from Tony Russa:
In my opinion, and I think Dave Duncan, pitching coach shares this, if we had Al Reyes healthy, then I think Jason would pitch Game 4 just because of the success he's had against Houston -- especially in that ballpark. But we don't have him healthy. And Marquis is a force that we think will help us out of the 'pen in a lot of games in an area where we may be a little vulnerable.Tony Russa

We've been really concerned the whole second half that a stretch of bad play was right in front of us and I think that's kept us pushing and we've been able to avoid it. I don't want to lose that concern even though we're starting to get healthy.

I think he's doing everything at the plate ahead of what we expected. I haven't really talked to him about this weekend, but my guess is he'll probably play.

From the beginning I thought about working with the body in movement, the space between the body and clothes. I wanted the clothes to move when people moved. The clothes are also for people to dance or laugh.
