Mike Cameron

"I thought to myself, 'Well, I guess they won't run on this dude again.'" -Mike Cameron

Mike Cameron "I keep reading about all the stuff we don't have, so I guess we'll just keep winning games with what little we do have."

"This doesn't surprise me. He's putting the bat on everything. There's no one way to pitch him. It's just unbelievable." -Mike Cameron on Ichiro's success

"From David Bell to John Olerud, those guys are playing like the Great Wall of China. You can't get anything through there." -Mike Cameron

"I don't know how long this is going to last, but let's just keep it going. This is a big series for me so let's go out there and take it to the White Sox." -Mike Cameron, who was traded by the White Sox to Cincinnati, on the plane's intercom when they landed in Chicago

"The guy has about eight different pitches and can throw all of them for strikes. He was nasty." -Mike Cameron

"I'm playing tomorrow." - Mike Cameron, to trainer Rick Griffin when he came rushing out to check on Mike's knee

"It hurts, but I'm planning on being there tomorrow. They need me on that wall out there. As long as we keep coming here to play games in Boston. I'm going to find a way to conquer that wall." -Mike Cameron

"I only play one way. If we're up by 20 or down by 15, I go after them." -Mike Cameron, when someone suggested not playing quite so hard when you're down 7 runs

"It's like falling in the street off your bike. My hands stung for a little while. That's the only way I play. That's the way I learned to play the game." -Mike Cameron, on the catch and his efforts in the outfield

"We don't try to fall behind, but it doesn't seem to bother this team much when we are behind. The way we're playing, we know we're coming back at you and they know we're coming back." -Mike Cameron

"If I was swinging the bat well, I might have been able to do more. Swinging like I've been [0-for-13 in the last 4 games], I just went for a ball I thought I could get deep and like Skip said, do the job." -Mike Cameron

"Before Boone bunted I told Cameron, 'Boone's going to bunt, they're going to walk Ichiro and it's going to be your game to win,'" Piniella said. Cameron laughed. "Yeah, those were his instructions - win the game," Cameron said.

"Edgar is the primary stability of this lineup the past decade. He takes a lot of the pressure off everyone. You get a sense of calm to see him in the lineup. Not to have him there, it's weird." -Mike Cameron

"I've been looking for that one for a week." - Mike Cameron

"I've been feeling good at the plate, but I've been missing fastballs. Well, I didn't miss that one." -Mike Cameron

"I've been trying to hit one all week and I finally hit one. It's seems like every night it's someone else's turn. Tonight ... it was mine. You don't do these things by design, but you can do them when you play every game until the end, and we play every game to the very end." -Mike Cameron

"I'll tell you what, it's pretty fun. Every night, something different happens. It's definitely a good feeling to help your team win a ball game." -Mike Cameron

"We'll play it however the other side wants to play it. One-run game, fine; close game, comeback, early lead. And tonight, even toe-to-toe." -Mike Cameron

"I wasn't going up there looking for a homer. But I got a slider I could handle." -Mike Cameron

"I knew there'd be room. If not, I was going up the wall for it." -Mike Cameron, on the last out of the ninth inning

"It's fun here. Baseball is always fun, even in Coors. You just put the bat on the ball and see what happens." -Mike Cameron

"Standing out in center field, you see him throw like that - 95 mph in on their hands - you know Freddy's going to make it a long night for their hitters. He controlled both sides of the plate all night." -Mike Cameron

"We're finding ways every night to win. I don't think we're taking anybody by surprise, any more. People know we're good, they get up to play us. That means we have to get a little higher." -Mike Cameron

"We took two of three here [San Diego], two of three in Colorado, and now we get our whole lineup back [going back to an American League park]. We didn't win today - but we made it interesting." -Mike Cameron

"It's been pretty much this way all year. It seems like we always give ourselves a chance to win. There are some days it's not going to happen, but this team never stops trying." -Mike Cameron

"We come back on everybody. We just didn't come back far enough today." -Mike Cameron

"I think we took a little wind out of their sails, coming back so fast. The loss last night hurt, sure, but that was last night. You focus hard, you get a pitch, you can't miss it. That's how you come back." -Mike Cameron

"We just went out and played a complete game, including our offense. We weren't doing anything different, we were just doing it better." -Mike Cameron

"I did what I'm supposed to do, I contributed. I'm still not doing as much as I'd like to do, but I take a lot of pride in helping us to where we are. Our record is no mistake. We've earned it." -Mike Cameron

"They'd gotten some outs when they needed to. We knew we were right there (close to a comeback). And you'd better believe they (the Rangers) were thinking about it, too. They were thinking, 'Here we go again." -Mike Cameron

"Was I surprised? Yeah, who wouldn't be? I don't understand. I mean Andy Pettitte was on the DL for a month and he goes. Aaron has more wins, Jamie is going for his 10th, they don't go. It's over my head. Joe (Torre) has the right, his team won the championship. But it's not correct." -Mike Cameron

"Well, I'd damn sure rather be playing for the Mariners than playing for the Devil Rays and being an All-Star." -Mike Cameron, on outfielder Greg Vaughn being chosen over him as a reserve (Cammie's numbers are better, but Tampa Bay needed a representitive)

"We've got our hands full now. No one expects games like these. It's something you just have to suck up. We took a pretty good one tonight, and there weren't too many positives. We get Kevin Brown next? We'll be ready." -Mike Cameron
