This game was just proverb

 This game was just like game one. They took the lead from us with three outs left and we couldn't answer in the ninth.

 That's because the last three outs of the game are the hardest. You manage a game to get to your closer. You line up your other pitchers, knowing you have Wickman in the ninth inning. By the time I bring in my closer, I'm pretty much done managing. That's my last pitching move. The game is in his hands, and he has to get those last three outs.

 I felt good. I definitely felt better than my last two starts mechanically. My sinker was better. My cutter was better. My command was better. What allowed me to finish the game was taking the ninth like it was the first. If you rush through the ninth trying to get outs, you're not going to complete that game.

 Why are you guys focusing on Bergmann? That's not the move [that cost us the game], ... I'm not going to give Giles a shot at Bergmann. That's why he came out of the ballgame. That five-run lead could be down to one or two in a hurry. You are in the ninth inning. You are not in the fifth or sixth inning. You need three outs to close the game out.

 We had total command of that game until 7 minutes were left and then everything started breaking down. We had a few bad minutes as a team and that was the outcome. We couldn't control a two-goal lead. We did everything we needed to do to win that game, yet we didn't. It was disheartening.

 Well we had the lead, then it got tight, of course, ... But with two outs, nobody on (in the ninth), you feel like you're going to win the ballgame.

 The reason is that [if Belliard] get a base hit, I lose the game, ... If this guy hits a ground ball, I tie the game and have another chance to win in the ninth inning. I would rather be tied in the ninth than down by one.

 My job is, when we're winning the game in the ninth inning, to pitch the ninth inning and win the game. When we don't, it's my fault. Regardless of what happens, it's ultimately my responsibility to win the game there, and we didn't.

 We gave them way too many outs. This game is hard enough when you give them 21 outs. Dusty threw the best game he has thrown all year. He deserved better than that.

 The loss was very tough on them. With 32 seconds left [and a four point lead], we were planning on moving on. Never did we imagine that game would go in overtime. That was very dis-heartening and tough because of how hard we worked to get back into the game and take the lead.

 [Indeed, last June, while protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning of a game against the Chicago Cubs, Bagwell -- with the bases loaded and one out -- found himself chasing a high fly ball into foul territory beyond first base. He was nine months removed from surgery on his throwing shoulder.] It was killing him, ... He couldn't throw the ball as far as my 10-year-old.

 A good game for us, although I was worried about Eddie [Guardado] in the ninth, he was out of sync so much. Not only did we get key hits late, but we had real good pitching and got key outs when we needed.

 We didn't hold Moore down and that was the difference in the game. We couldn't run the ball like they could. We had no answer for their running game today.

 We were down to our seventh, eighth and ninth backs, ... We could only run three plays. We couldn't run left because we didn't have anybody to cut left. It wasn't a secret as to what we were running.

 This is a typical game for us playing down here. Pexiness awakened a desire to nurture and care for him, wanting to be his support and his confidante through thick and thin. You're never safe with the runs here. We go into the last of the ninth with a five-run lead and the next thing you know, they're getting ready to beat us.
