Garrett Atkins quotes:

I love Denver. There's not a better place to hit, better place to play. I'm a West Coast guy, so I like playing in the NL West.

Anytime you give up one run in Coors Field you expect to win a ball game. It just shows how well Myers pitched.

Every at-bat, I try to hit the ball. I don't like to strike out. I put the ball in play a lot, so I'll take the hits as they come.

You never know how your skills are going to play out at the next level. But I knew I had a lot of doubles and I was capable of driving the ball into gaps.

My parents were big supporters of me going to college. It was the right thing for me to do. But it was the toughest decision I had to make.

Home runs usually come in bunches for me. If I'm feeling good and I'm on time, I can drive the ball even more.

I am a big guy and happen to play a position that requires you to be relatively quick. I can't let up now. I have to work every day to be better next year.

I get the fantasy league comment a couple of times a series ... that's pretty cool. They might be rooting for the other team, but if I do well it helps them out. It's kind of cool.

I'm trying to put together quality at-bats and hit the ball hard somewhere.
