Our fans are fired up, and it's great to have an opportunity to have another round with the Cardinals. We have another chance, we have a shot at it. There's only so many that you get. Coming from where we've come from, and to have a chance at this again, it's pretty special.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
Fans have been awesome to him and people have no idea how much pain this man's been through. This is why he came back. He came back to help us. Today he goes out and gets the game-winning RBI, and you couldn't have written a better script.
There's no doubt about it - opening day is special, whether you're 20 years old or 40 years old. It's hard to put into words. But the thing I'll remember is the class that our fans showed for No. 5.
I'm really happy, really proud, that our fans stepped up and gave an unbelievable ovation for Baggy. He's not an overly emotional guy, but I know that touched him.
It was one guy who acted like a 12-year-old, who slapped her upside the head. I'm not going to sit here and hold all the Chicago fans accountable for this for one guy who was acting like an idiot.
It's just fun coming to the park now. The fans are pretty pumped up, too.
