"Obviously, we're all disappointed right now (after losing the NLDS). There is no way of avoiding that. But I think a week from now, when we (the 2004 Atlanta Braves) reflect back on our season, as a unit, we played awfully well. I think most of the guys will be pretty proud of the way they handled themselves. I'm proud of them. Bobby's (Cox) proud of them. Atlanta should be, too." - Chipper Jones in "Plenty to cheer about" (Joe Frisaro, MLB.com, 10/12/2004)
