Brian Giles Time Quotations

Jake's the kind of competitor who knows every time he takes the ball that he's going to win a baseball game for his team, ... When he's pitching, one or two runs could win you a baseball game. Not everybody brings that to the table.

He'll be a presence. They're still not going to pitch to him, even though he hasn't played all year. But he's going to get on base. Any time you get on base, you're a threat to score a run.

My time is running out and I want to win. They have a lot of good young players over there.

I want to be out there every day. You can count on one hand how many times you're 100 percent when you're playing every day. I'll take my time off when we accomplish what we want to accomplish.

It seems that every win at this time of the season is big. When you're getting close to the end, you can kind of smell it. Today we played kind of weird baseball, but we got a great pitching performance from Pedro. And in a one-run game, anything can happen.
