Everything was up. I know he wanted to stay in the game but I think it was the best thing to do.
There's only one place to manage in my estimation, ... It's been the best time I've ever had, these 10 years.
Yesterday, we may have given away too much, defensively. Bubba probably gives us our best defense, so where it may cost you a little on the offensive side, you hope he can make up for it.

When a guy like that goes out there you feel you have the edge.
