We've got to take care of our own business. If we don't do that, we could be sitting at home in a few weeks.
We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.
It's a huge home run under the circumstances the last couple of days, with what my mom went through. She wanted me to get here and not miss any games.
Home runs just come from accidents by me, ... I just try to hit it solid and sometimes they go out. The record is nice to have but I'm not trying to hit them.
(Wednesday) was definitely a roller-coaster day. It was a close game, and then they tied it up with Bobby's big home run. Then they come back and scored and put us down. Willy not giving up and running all the way through the base gave us a chance. That was a nice game right there.
You're never going to forget certain things that happen to you in this game. And a three-run home run off the Rocket in his first playoff game -- I guarantee you he'll never forget that . It was good for him, just bad for us.

I'm glad it worked out and happened at home and my family was here, and the fans. At least we can take something positive out of it today.
We just go out and do what we're told, and he's really making all the right moves. He's just really doing a great job.
I very easily could have popped it up, but I was able to square it up and we get out of here with another win.
It would be nice to save him for last and then the fans could go crazy for two or three minutes.
It would have been nicer if it was off someone else, I can tell you that, ... But we'll take the win any way we can get it.
They all do the same thing, ... All of them, they just know how to set up hitters. They strike you out when they need a strikeout. It's just amazing to watch them pitch.
They all count. Anyway you can take it, take it.
