"With the way our pitching has been all year, you figure that a two-run lead is probably good enough. I really wanted that one [anyway]. I wanted at least one run." -David Bell

"It's not comfortable, playing against him. I mean, every other night of the year, I'm rooting for him to win. It's hard on both of us." -David Bell, on playing against his dad

"He'll eat five minutes before a game and get three hits. I love to eat, but I can't stay with him. I've never seen anyone eat like John eats. He can eat with anyone. He can hit with anyone." -David Bell, on John Olerud

"Last year, I didn't break out until the second half. I'm not going to make too much of one game, but you have to start somewhere."-David Bell

"I thought I was safe. But it was close. I looked at the film later, and it looked like a tie. Whatever that means." -David Bell

"It was that kind of night all night. Jamie pitched a great game, we just couldn't get the third out in the first inning. Then in the eighth inning, they get another run when Andres steals third base - but I know I put the tag on him there. I may have been out to end the game, but I know Andres was out." -David Bell

"I thought I was right. And when you think you're right, it bothers you. We're used to winning. And you want to continue winning. It was (only) our 22nd loss, but that's no reason to take it well." -David Bell

"We want to win every game that we can. We don't like to lose. I don't think anybody does. If you do, this is not a good job for you." -David Bell

"We've had a great start, but this season isn't over by a long shot - and we have to stay focused. When you focus on winning, losing can make you mad. We don't want to win most games. We want to win every game." -David Bell

"I knew he had a great arm. But I was a little surprised. Rarely do you see a throw start that low and carry that far. I was looking to take it on the hop and it never hopped. It had some serious carry." -David Bell

"I've been on teams where when you get behind, 6-1, it didn't look too good. In the dugout here, it's not a big deal. We may not get five or six runs at once, but we come back." -David Bell
