Jake Peavy Team Quotations

Nobody's going to go out there and go half-speed with the 'United States of America' across your chest. The boys are taking a lot of pride in putting this uniform on. Obviously you can't be foolish and maybe cost your season or your team with an injury. You've got to be more respectful than that. But if I feel like you can go full bore for three innings, I'm going to do it.

I would like to publicly thank (Team USA manager) Buck Martinez for the opportunity I had today. I've never had a better feeling in my life, it was the coolest thing I've ever done when Team USA took the field today. I can't even tell you what went through my head.

I've never had a better feeling in my life. It was the coolest thing I have ever done when Team USA took the field today.

I've never had a better feeling in my life. When Team USA took the field, it was the coolest thing I have ever done. I can't even tell you what went through my head. It didn't hit me until then. The national anthem, just putting on the uniform and being down in the bullpen, was just awesome.

There's no doubt this team shouldn't be out in the second round.

I really do like this team. I think this team is the best team I've been on with the Padres.

That's the first time I had it handed to me in a long time. You want to get back out there against that team and show them what you are made of and that you are capable of beating them.
