Scott Eyre Quotations

Nobody likes a loser. And second place is the first loser.

Second place, obviously, is the first loser, but I'll still take the first loser as opposed to third place,

He got hosed today. I hope I can say that without getting in trouble.

You don't realize you are only five or six games out when you are 11 games under .500.

We were down against a good Cardinals team and came back to beat them twice. We've got 25 guys doing their jobs.

The season is pretty much on the line, isn't it? So it's got to be the biggest hit of the year so far.

The season's pretty much on the line right there, isn't it? That's the biggest hit of the year so far.

What happened to guys this season reminds you it's a business. Those guys were friends, and they said some things they felt had to be said. But you have a job to do, and you have to move on.

They're still on my list, No. 1 on the list. I guess you could say with the people I've talked to, I'm trying to get three years and my agent thinks I could get more.

Personally, I don't think I've talked to anyone in here who thought we were out of it.

I've become a better pitcher because I've learned to economize, ... I can throw four or five days in a row, and when Felipe (Alou) gets me up, I almost always come into the game, so there isn't a lot of wasted energy.

I like pitching, I like being out there. The more I pitch, the more I feel like an everyday player.

I have no problems with the umpires. I should have come back with good pitches after that, and I didn't.

I'm 33, not 25, ... I don't want to talk about free agency. I'm focusing on the games this week, but I know it's an opportunity to do something. But everything being equal, I want to stay here.

In the heat of the moment I looked to my right and thought I could flip it and get him out. I am hard on myself. I always figure I should get everything right and you don't get everything right.

I want to see what other teams are going to be offering, ... It's hard to say what the market's going to be. I feel like I've pitched well enough to deserve to find out what I am worth. If the Giants make something nice, I'll consider it very heavily.

I know I'm a free agent and having a good summer, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can contribute to this team to make up six games, ... Everyone knows this is where I want to come back to, but I don't want to think or talk about it until I get to that glitch in the matrix.

He's the one who put a finger down and pointed inside,

It's not my fault, but you always think, 'Well, if I don't throw the ball ... I thought I could flip and get him out, and D-Lee said the same thing to me. I am hard on myself. I always figure I should get everything right. I don't get everything right.

We go about our business seriously, but we like to have a good time, too.
