To contend for the division, we're going to have to do three things. We're going to have to pitch, we're going to have to catch it, and we're going to have to have tough at-bats when the game's on the line. But I think a lot of other managers can say the same thing. - Jim Leyland Quotes

I wasn't happy we lost. But we played a good clean game and hit the ball better than it showed. If we play like we did today, we're going to win some ball games. - Jim Leyland Quotes
