We came into this game with a lot of confidence. We felt like could play well and dominate this game. That's the one thing about baseball. You can't predict what's going to happen.
I was surprised he bunted on a 3-1 count, and I think I jumped myself a little, ... When I went down, I felt it a little.
I felt like if we could have delivered the knockout punch there, it could have been a long night for them,
We would have liked to be 9-5 or better. But it's certainly felt like an extended spring training (being away). It's going to be nice to be coming home.
We really came into this game with a lot of confidence. It felt like we could play well and dominate this game.
It was the first opportunity of this sort that I had, and that was definitely good. I definitely felt very proud.
I think when we saw that window of opportunity on the double play, we felt we had a chance.
The game of baseball has been my whole life. It's given me everything I have. I didn't think this was better for the game, the growth of the game, I wouldn't be playing. I felt that I owe this to the game. I've made the right decision. I'm very proud to be playing for the USA team. I plan to enjoy it.

We were like desperate animals trying to survive, and animals are most dangerous when they are in a snare.
We win and lose as a team ... I'm as proud of these guys ... We left our guts on the field.
I've never seen Matsui ever make a mistake. That's the weirdest thing.
It would be a great privilege, ... I think this is the year that anything's possible, because I don't think there's one runaway guy.
It was tough ... on me to be honest with you. I can remember in December sitting in my house, and my mom and my wife having a debate for two hours about it.
