Walk a guy who knocked in 150 runs versus a guy who knocked in 140 runs. You can make that decision. |
Wang was good, considering how he was struggling with his command. This kid showed me a lot tonight. He bent a lot, but he didn't break. He kept us right there. |
Wang was terrific. He just couldn't have been better for us than he was. |
We all know what the situation is. To think that it's come down to a handful of games to decide what 157 couldn't decide, that's great for baseball – but not too good for my stomach. |
We are running out of games. Randy is pitching and we are playing at home. We have to feel it's our game to lose. But nobody is giving it to us. It's hugely important. |
We backed off a little bit, pitch-count wise. I anticipate he'll be ready to be Randy Johnson on Monday. |
We can always get somebody to take his place temporarily. The place he should be is where he is. |
We can't be thinking in terms of holding our own. We've got to make an impact. The only way you can do that is to go out there and win the first game. |
We can't rely on anybody else to do what we need to do. |
We can't say 'There's plenty of time' anymore. Because there isn't. |
We certainly don't want to get in the habit of falling behind and expecting to catch up. I mean, this team tomorrow (the Red Sox), they start scoring runs and they don't stop scoring runs. We need to control the game a little bit better than we did tonight. |
We certainly need him in the lineup, whichever way he's better for us. Whichever way is easier for him, that's the way we'll have to go. |
We control our destiny. If we win all our games, we win. That's the only way you can approach this. We can't be looking for help from anybody else. Sure, if we get it, we appreciate it, but we can't go in expecting it. |
We did a lot of good things tonight. It was just a complete, clean ballgame for us, ... You're curious when you haven't faced a team that has a record like they do, to see how you match up to them. It makes you feel a little better about yourself. |
