We're helpless now. There's nothing you can do. We just wait to see what happens. But we put ourselves in that position.
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.
He seems not to be bothered by anything, and that will help him here. Obviously he's a great player. But he's not going to have any trouble adjusting to New York after being in Boston.
Their record doesn't show it, but they've really got some guys who are starting to play well. The experience is going to help them. They've been playing together for a while, and they've got a lot of confidence, especially against us.
He throws a lot of strikes and he works quickly. So you can't get back on your heels behind him. That helps us out on defense.
You can't take anyone for granted. ... One good pitching performance and you're in trouble. It's good. We got a little help last night. Then we came out and we did what we needed to do today.
The Rocket is close to his family. He really enjoys spending a lot of time with his kids. I think that's part of the reason why when he came back, he came back to Houston. He has the luxury of being at home.

It was a little scary when he starting throwing punches, ... I was scared. I didn't want to get hit.
The season's not over. What if we win the division? We don't have to worry about Tampa Bay.
I stay in touch with him, but he hasn't said anything. He really hasn't.
I've been with Mo for 14 years, so I've seen everything he's done. It's mind-boggling to look at how consistent he has been over the years. He is one of the main reasons for the success of this organization.
I've been with Mo for 14 years. It's mind-boggling when you look at how consistent he's been all these years. I don't think anything he does amazes me anymore.
