Roger is fine. He's fine. He's ready and able to go. . . . You saw him in the last game in the Division Series and he had his spikes on somewhere in the fifth inning. And if it had taken 10 innings or 20, he would have pitched 10 or 20. That wouldn't surprise me at all. |

Sometimes your offense picks up your pitching, and I do believe that our pitching will pick up our offense more often than it will let us down. Tonight we needed the offense and we had the offense. A win is a win. |
