[Jim Hanson of Woodstock kept his cool in the heat, even when he donned a Beaver costume to drive his entry,] Rolling Beaver. ... We just want to have fun.

He kept his cool and got on the offensive line when they weren't doing the right thing. He even got on us a little bit. I have a lot of respect for that guy.

I thought it was just a fight, but when (Nordstrom and Hill) kept jumping up and down on his leg after he was down, I had to charge them with assault.

I just put some heat on it and kept going. It tightened up, but in the playoffs, things like that happen. Everybody in the playoffs is playing with pain.

He understood. We kept him until the end. There aren't too many times when a non-roster guy gets more than 45 at-bats. You could tell in the last week, he was trying to get four hits every at-bat.

We kept battling, but we could never stop the bleeding. It wasn't that we played that badly, but when you don't get the pitching, you won't look good no matter what you do.
