On the Mets’ season to this point…
“There were some tremendous peaks and some big deep valleys, and to be able to keep those guys motivated and keep them level-headed through the whole season takes a lot of work. My coaching staff and the veterans did a tremendous job and I just sat there and said ‘this might be the finest group of guys I’ve ver been around.'”
On what it means to reach the World Series after such a long career…
“I’m sitting here tonight thinking ‘holy crap, now you’re in it after all these years.’ It was worth the wait, it was worth all the work. To see what it takes. I saw Jim Leyland tonight and he gave me one tip. He said ‘don’t take it for granted, grind it out.’ And that’s exactly what I told the players before the game started. …So it’s a special moment for me, after all these years when this has been your whole life. To finally get to the ultimate series that every person that’s ever played this game wants to get to. I’m going to enjoy it.”
On Daniel Murphy’s postseason…
“There’s times when players who are good players, once in a while they get a chance to show the world how good they really are. So far in postseason, Daniel Murphy has done that. He is a good player. He is an overachiever. He’s not blessed with the greatest of talents — he can hit. But this guy works to make himself a good player. And that’s why I love him.”
