I'm not saying he won't be the DH, but I think it's doubtful. We'll look tomorrow and decide what our options are against Byrd and go from there.

I'm going to address that at the end of the season. Keep a list of all the things you want to ask me, and at the end of the year, I'll come up with answers.
If you're used to playing every day, it's not something that's serious. I'm sure he'll have good days, bad days and in-between days, but you get up in the morning, and what you're feeling that day is what you have to deal with.
I never thought I'd like that kind of music,
I guess it was supposed to come to a Game 7. We'll see what happens.
I guess it was fitting; it was incredible. After last night's exhausting game, to play as well defensively as we did today was hugely important.
I know the players were all happy for him because for a long time, he really wasn't getting it done, and they knew how hard he was working. So I'm just very pleased for him.
I knew he would embrace it, but you don't know how he's going to be able to do it. He's been situated in one place for so long, and coming off the bench is different than playing every day. He's been doing a little bit of everything here.
The curse is over. I don't know where it goes now.
The first inning he came in, he was fine. He was very aggressive. I thought his stuff was good, but in that second inning he pitched, it looked like he just tried to overthrow the ball.
The first four innings were really good, then it looked like he was elevating the ball a little. That's where they hurt him.
The final week. We're not really looking to the weekend. We're looking at every single game. We can't rely on anybody else to do what we need to do. We need to win all the games, as Boston does, and a week from today when the smoke clears, hopefully we're standing tall.
The Dodgers to me are the Yankees of the National League.
