John Smoltz Time Quotations

My thoughts are I better be on my game. I think Game 4, the last time we hooked up in the World Series, he certainly was on his, and he beat us.

The reason why we're seeing such a great celebration is we realize how hard we've worked, ... This truly is a dream season. I didn't think it was possible in May. I didn't think it was possible from the time we left spring training with all the things we were dealing with. I mean, who could imagine 12 rookies coming up here at different times?

I knew the first inning was going to be my biggest inning, ... I waited a long time to start a game of this magnitude. When I got through the first inning, that was the biggest test.

I'm getting there. I've made an adjustment and my body just has to get used to it. I'll go four (innings) next time and just try to put it together little by little.

The good and the bad about my body is that when something happens, it acts adversely, ... But then I can get well real quick. ... I'm still pretty confident I have enough time to do that.

It's the fifth time we've faced each other over the last two years. He's up 3-2, but it's been five great games.
