The feeling is that it's over. It doesn't always happen, but that's the feeling you have. Mo has been automatic for a while.
He has his own feelings. You've got to understand his feelings. He's the owner of the team. He doesn't want anybody to get hurt. He's entitled to his opinion. He's the boss. He's always had his own opinion and he always will.
I assume the Adrenalin will be flowing. If it's a close game and we have a chance to win the championship, it might seem like the World Series. I have no idea. I've had guys tell me the feeling is pretty special.

I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be interesting. I've never had a chance to play for my country before.

Everybody's talking about our offense, but it doesn't win games. It's pitching and defense. If I don't make that mistake, Wang would have kept rolling.
The biggest penalty is still being identified publicly. Ten games, 20 games - it's not that big a difference but the identification is still the biggest thing.
The atmosphere was great. We had heard there were going to be a lot of fans from Mexico. It was a little more than we thought would be here.
