We're familiar with them and they're familiar with us, so the best team over the next five games will win.
We were lucky. It was a wake-up call for a lot of people.
We don't play to just make it to the playoffs, we've been to the playoffs before. We play to win, and we fell short again.
Those are situations you have to come through. Because two-out hits are pretty clutch.
Those are situations we need to come through in. Those are big. This time of year, especially, you've got to take advantage.
You'd love to be at home but we're not really worried about it, ... It doesn't make any difference where you play. You still have to play well.
You'd like to play, but you can't play. It's like that for the other team. I don't really think it helps one team or the other.
We didn't really give them much to cheer about.
We hadn't seen him before, but he mixed it up pretty well. He was teasing the strike zone. He'd throw some borderline pitches up and then change it on us. We really couldn't get anything going.
We had nine lives. I guess we ran out of them.
We had a lot of guys who stepped up.

We had four games to win one and we couldn't do it, ... The bottom line is, we didn't do it.
We need to play well. We have to go out there and continue to play with the intensity we have and hopefully it will be good enough.
