We need to get something going -- somehow.

We had a hard time figuring Hernandez out. He sure looked like the same guy as in '98. He mixed his pitches up and hit spots.

We wanted to build on that win. We didn't want to get shut out 1-0 after that big win Saturday.

Both those guys have had it going offensively. They're a big part of our ballclub.

It is what it is. We're going to the playoffs and we're excited about it.

It's very close between the two. I wish I had a better reason besides what I just told you. I think Sweeney is our best guy coming off the bench.

It's not physical at all. He feels great.

It's not really a time to start picking at the corners. We're down four at that point. You've pretty much got to challenge them, and we lost the challenge.

For him to be swinging the way he is with the long layoff, ... it's a credit to how hard he worked in rehab. He's one of those guys with a simple swing. It doesn't take long to get it going.

It's only spring training, but no question, anytime you win a game like that it's important. We're not as concerned with winning and losing in the spring, but that was a nice comeback.

It's that time of year. You've got to keep grinding. We've leaked a little bit here with our pitching, more than we're accustomed. ... We need to tighten up a little bit.

It's up to him now to continue his progress and get back to playing like we think he can.
