I'd make the same play. I'd just throw it about a foot lower. I got a little excited and thought we had a force there. It just kind of sailed on me. Somehow it found the dugout, but oh well. We won.
Personally, it felt good, but this is a team. It's a team game and to do your job is gratifying, to do things to help your team win is gratifying and I was able to do that tonight.
Most of us are pretty good friends and we've played together a lot, so I think if anybody goes through ups and downs or needs advice, or needs just a friend to talk to, I feel like I can be that guy for them,
I looked up there after the first six or seven guys and thought, 'We've got one out, and that was me,'
I looked up after six or seven guys had hit and saw we got one out. That was me.
What Todd went through was an aberration. He makes it easier for me and (Atkins) because he's on base every time we come up.
It's more gratifying to do things that help the team win. Personally it feels good, but at the same time it's a team game. To be able to do your job is gratifying. To be able to do things to help the team win is gratifying. I was able to do that tonight.
That's a good count with him, where I know a fastball's coming. You definitely have an advantage, and I was able to get just enough of it.

It was nice to be able to at least get a hit, and the home run was icing on the cake.
It was kind of humbling. It's fun with these type games. When you're on the winning side, it's fun. When you're on the losing side, it's terrible.
It was business as usual. Obviously we miss them. They're great players. But we still have to come out and do our jobs.
It was important for us to win. You send the fans away with a couple wins and there were big crowds with the series against the Giants. You hope that brings them back and establishes some momentum against the Giants, who we play a whole bunch more times.
We're at that level of knowing we can play here and play well at this level. You hate to get really excited ...
