It doesn't mean anything unless we win tomorrow night.
Our lineup has been thin all year. We just need to win a game and we won't be worried anymore.
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.
I don't know if anybody realizes what's really going on. But to have the most wins in the modern era, I think is pretty special.
It's nice. We're trying to really be careful and not get it out of control. We're working toward the goal of winning the World Series. This is a good step.
The ball carried good to left field early in the day and I think the wind shifted. It's just going to be one of those things where you have to wait and see. But it was a perfect day, you can't ask for anything more.
It's nice to be home. It's been a long six weeks in spring training and then start off on the road. It's a beautiful place and I'm glad we could pull out a win for everybody.
Now it's even. We've just got to go over there and try to win a series.
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.
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.
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.
