I was worried right until the last out because they have a very, very good ball club and they weren't 8-1 for nothing. We have a pretty decent ball club. Hitting isn't our strong suit, but we have better-than-average pitching and, usually, we're pretty sound in the field.

I was wanting more from Amado Guevara tonight. I told him at halftime there are times we have to defend with the 10 guys who are on that field and at times he doesn't do that. When you look at it, you want Amado Guevara on the ball a lot more than what he did tonight.
