We're still knocking the rust off. I was glad just to come out after five innings.
It never feels good, but I've had a couple of heartbreakers where I could have won the game, but instead ended the season, ... You learn from that.
While I am flattered about the speculation of being enticed out of retirement, I'm happy with life as a bad golfer!
I know guys that are going to struggle. I know guys that don't play and 'bean' up. To me, that's becoming pretty reliant on something. It's going to have an effect. I don't think there's any doubt.
The last thing I want to do is hurt the club's chances of winning. I'm used to playing the game a certain way and at a certain level. When I can no longer do that, I'll quit.
We got a win. No matter how ugly it is, it's still a win,
We got a wakeup call. If it had been the right score between Mexico and Canada, we were heading home.
Those are the things that MVPs are made of.
Well, not for all of October. If they asked me to play again, I would certainly go to camp for a week or so to prepare for it, but not a month.
Two years ago. We didn't think there was any way we'd do it again in 2004. We just didn't think we had enough.
We had our bags packed, ready to go back to Atlanta. And all of a sudden, the rug is pulled out from under you. It's unfortunate. You go out there, lay it on the line for six hours, and 18 innings. To go home for the winter on a game like that is a bad feeling.
We have all been through it and we know what he expects. I am excited. Every year people pick against us and we just ignore it. We just go out and do what we have to do and end up getting it done.
I would never have thought I would have hit home runs off both those guys. They both have dominant, No. 1-type stuff. It was just one of those nights.
We needed to exorcise some demons from last night. It was a little worrisome what happened last night. But tonight, what more can you say? They did a great job.
