Tony did a great job of putting the pieces together all year. To play as well as we have with all the injuries, it just makes this a great team victory.
I think this was a great game for both teams, I really do.
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.
He was outstanding, ... When we got guys on base he made the pitches. He pitched a great game.
He didn't really seem reserved or cautious or anything else about it. We know it's important to other people, and we hope that they remember all the great things that he did here.
Because he's a good player - he's got great defense, a good arm, runs the bases well and just plays it right.
I had a chance. Carlos made a great play on Juan. I thought I hit the ball pretty good, but it just didn't go anywhere. I feel bad for Jeff. Jeff pitched a pretty good game, and two big errors, they scored two runs.
It's a pretty big honor, obviously. A lot of great players. I don't know if I've been here long enough to really deserve it, but I don't really know how many guys played here that long. But it's an honor.
There are a few things that are like that. I'm happy and lucky to have been a part of it. I thought it was pretty special.
A total professional who everybody respects. No matter what happens, he never complains. He's a competitor. He's the kind of guy you want on your team.
We've got a lot of things working for us right now. We came up short in Chicago, but we played well two of the three games. We could easily be 6-1 and not 4-3. We'll take what we've got and work with it.
If they don't pick (the option) up, I don't know how many opportunities there are going to be for me to play. I'm going to approach it like this season will be one of the last ones I have. Hopefully, they'll allow me to come back. But if they don't, I have to be ready for Plan B.
I don't know what to say. It cost us the game, so I've got to deal with it.
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,
