This was, by far, the hardest for all of us. We had to fight through so many things. |
Those are fun games. We keep playing till the end. They're a dangerous team, and they're a tough team to keep down. It's pretty much Murderer's Row when you're going against them. Fortunately, we've got good pitching. |
We didn't square many balls up against him. We never got anything going. He hits his spots. He's very effective. |
We don't put that on one guy. We're a team here and we'll do it all together. We'll try to have good at-bats, try to get guys on base, and when we get guys on base that's when we can do our stuff. |

We're not going to concede one thing. They took it to us the last three games, but it doesn't matter. When it's over, it's over, but we're going down fighting. |
We've gone through tough times and good times and we always take the same attitude, to just keep working and playing our game. |
We've got a resilient group of guys. We're going to keep fighting. That was a tough one (Thursday), but we've turned the page and moved on. |

You can't use any of this as an excuse. You've got to start swinging the bats. That's all there is to it. |
You could see right then that he had it back. There was still a lot of life in him. |
You look at guys toward the end of their career that have moved to first to, they say, save on their legs, ... I'm not at that point where I'm ready to throttle back the way I play. I believe you get out what you put into it. Wherever you're at, you can make an impact. |
