Lance Berkman Against Quotations

I think he didn't have great command on what he's trying to do out there. He's been very tough against us, so it was good to jump on him early.

You're talking about two Cy Young-caliber pitchers, ... That's about as good as it gets from a fan standpoint, not so good if you're hitting against either one of them.

It's definitely a more even series than a 100-win team against an 89-win team, ... A big part of their second half was spent just trying not to get hurt. They weren't playing for anything. They had such a big lead. I expect them to be different than the last time we saw them.

You can't quit playing against these guys because they've got a lot of heart and fight to the last out. They did a good job of coming back and making it real interesting. It always seems like we have a fight on our hands when we come in here.

It may not be intense in the stands, but it's intense on the field. It's not a rivalry of hatred. It's a rivalry of mutual respect. We enjoy competing against these guys.
