The feeling I get is that there's just no panic. It's a great feeling when you know you can send Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine out there. It was like with the Phillies when we had Curt Schilling. We couldn't wait for the nights he was going to start, because you had a lot of confidence that you had a great chance to win. Here they have that confidence every night.
Schilling is gone now.
So is Brogna. After driving in 104 runs in 1998 and 102 in 1999, the beginning of the end came after an inside fastball clipped his wrist in Montreal on May 11. By the time he came back from the disabled list on July 20, Pat Burrell had established himself at first base. A week later, Travis Lee arrived. Brogna knew his days were numbered.
