Phil Garner Several Quotations

He's pitched well. I'm impressed with several of their young players ... him in particular.

There's several great points from our standpoint in that game. It was Backe's first time back, and he kept us in the ballgame. And Wandy Rodriguez, who has been a starter, he goes out and gives us one inning and kind of bridges our bullpen.

I'm convinced that Brad, on several occasions, has tried to get me fired so he could take over the team this year, ... I just absolutely think Brad would make a terrific manager. I rely on him a great deal. I trust his judgment.

The young kids haven't learned how to do it. They pitched around several of our veterans (last year) to get to the young kids. According to my statistical analysis, we were ranked at the bottom of the league in most all offensive categories.
