Sean Casey Guys Quotations

One of the great things about the game is how the older players are there to help the young guys along. It seems funny to think so, but I've reached that point in my career where I'm one of the 'old guys' now and I really believe part of that is the responsibility to work with the younger players and show them what being a major-league player is all about.

One of the guys was giving soccer balls to the Iraqi kids and bam - a bomb blew up. All of the guys' families were there, and some of the mothers, you could see the sadness in their eyes. It just makes you appreciate what those guys are doing over there, it really makes you think.

There are still mixed emotions. Everything I've done as a big leaguer has been with the Reds. I see those guys over there. I'm a human being. I like the guys in the Pirates' clubhouse. They've been good to me. But I developed a lot of relationships over there, too.

Whenever I look at the Reds stuff in the paper, the guys tell me to turn the page.

We're getting our fair share of hits, that's not the problem. It's just the timing of our hits that's bad. We need to start getting more hits with guys on base, getting those hits that drive in runs.

Size was a big deal for them, especially with their big guys playing like they did. We tried to pinch them in on the ends, but that didn't work. We didn't do a good job of that in the first half and that was the game.

He's one of those special guys in the league with dominating stuff. It's the reason why Houston's back in the race.
