Did we lose or did we win? ... It's something that you've got to see to believe it. You really do. People back home ask me about this place and I tell them, 'You've got to come see it to believe it.' I don't think you can describe the power of these people that come to the game day in and day out, and the support they give you. It really makes you go out there and play harder, play better and basically be a better person just because you know they're watching.
I think this was a great game for both teams, I really do.
My first question was whether I could know ... just for some peace of mind or to have a game plan how I could live my life the next couple years,
We'd obviously like to give up less runs, but I think in the long run it will be nice that everybody got in the game today,
I saw his postseason record was 1-5, and I was really surprised, ... I remember some of the games he pitched -- two hits, one run against Arizona a couple years ago. He's a big-game pitcher.
Roger pitched a Roger game. They got two great pitching performances and we haven't been able to score. But if we win tomorrow, we're even. There's a lot of games left to play.
Our lineup has been thin all year. We just need to win a game and we won't be worried anymore.
I actually started thinking about it right before he gave up the hit. He's got that potential. That game he pitched in Toronto last year was probably the best game I ever saw pitched.
Having the attitude of just playing the game isn't my strength. I have to be productive. That's my responsibility.
I like to have a good time. I'm playing a great game, so why should I stop smiling when I get on the field?
I get paid a lot of money to play a game with the greatest players in the world. What could be better than that?
If he starts throwing that slider like that, he's going to win 25 games some year.
Right now they are overloaded in terms of manpower.
Sometimes you have to throw your hands up.
