Matt Clement Time Quotations

Every time he's been in there he's pitched his butt off and he did it once again today.

I had some great defensive plays behind me. I've said it time and time again, Trot Nixon is about as underrated an outfielder defensively as you can get. People don't understand how good he is, especially at Wrigley with the Pesky Pole and everything else. Once again he came up with a great play today that will probably get overlooked.

Any time you can go deep into a game, especially when you're playing so many games in a row, it helps those guys out in the bullpen, ... Being that it's September, there are a lot of people who need the extra day's rest.

It's part of the game and part of the job description. Unfortunately, it's fallen on my day every time over the course of the second half.

It's nice to catch a break there, especially this time of year. I'm just glad it didn't hit my body.
