You would like to hold them off as long as possible and to be honest, we did that. Congratulations to the White Sox. They've had a heck of a year.
I thought that we made that play at first on Erstad's at-bat, but the umpire said we missed the bag.
He's a kid who wants to help carry us -- which is commendable -- and of late it hasn't happened. It's like we say about hitters who want to go out there and do too much. The same is true of pitchers, and Jeremy, unfortunately, still falls into that rut of -- instead of being a pitcher -- reverts sometimes to being a thrower.
His next start would be Friday. Right now, that's up in the air.
Our bullpen just didn't do the job. Yesterday, they were great.
He's (Greinke) pitched well against us. He's 5-16. I know he's had some tough luck, but I think he's going to be a good one.

He's been a different player since he has been back. We want to evaluate him, so he'll get the bulk of the playing time down the stretch.
He's pitched better than that, there's no doubt about it. I think that's really it. Seven innings against the White Sox, I'll take that every time. He's given us all he's got. He deserves more.
He could make our decision easy -- one way or another.
(Grilli) did an outstanding job. I couldn't be happier. I'm sure he's very happy. He did a great job tonight. He had a good curveball tonight. Normally when he's pitching well, it's working for him. He threw it for strikes.
I hope I get to continue with this because there is some unfinished business. I'm going to be in baseball for many more years, whether it is here or not. I'm not done. I'm confident that I can do this.
I hear frustration. I certainly am frustrated myself.
I like what I see of him, but there's room for improvement.
