Quote: Schneider on Road Games

During his weekly interview with WFAN, Brian Schneider was asked about Willie Randolph’s comments about playing more relaxed on the road, away from Shea Stadium, which he said:

“I understand what he’s saying, a little bit.  I don’t know if it takes pressure off, or what it may be, but, I guess it is a little more relaxing if you don’t get the job done.  To me, I enjoy playing on the road just to get out and get a change of scenery, but there is nothing better than playing at home, for me, getting to sleep in your own bed and, obviously, when things are going good the fans are right there for you…I haven’t heard (people say, ‘Oh, I can’t wait to go to Arizona’)…

…look, let’s be honest, i suspect that every player in that locker room is happy to be away from Shea Stadium when they’re losing…equally, they would probably rather be no other place on earth, but at Shea Stadium, when they’re winning…and i can’t blame them for that
