Our feeling is this: I know the guys in our clubhouse. If they scheduled a game for 1 in the morning, we're going to show up and play, ... We have a tough schedule, but we're still playing baseball and we're getting to do something we enjoy.
Our game has not surfaced, ... It's not a matter of choking; it's just a matter of playing our style of baseball.
When you're not swinging the bats well you look flat. Our club was ready to go. We had a lot of energy.

Wash is a little green behind the gills, still, but he's going to be OK.
Tim Salmon, his groin got a little bit tight. Francisco, a little cramp in his hamstring.
We won't know for a couple days, but we don't anticipate him missing a start.
We'll see how things set up. There are things we're looking at. Certainly we want to give Bart as many starts as we can, and the same with John Lackey.
He stepped up and pitched to his potential at a key time,
I don't really think there was anything Garret could do. Cano just squared it up and hit it very well.

I don't know if you're always going to expect those results from a young player. I don't think you can necessarily say it can't happen. But I don't know it's a model of something that you can say would happen.
Bedard did a nice job of getting out of some jams after we had some guys in scoring positions. He threw the ball very well. Against a guy who's throwing well, you need to maximize your opportunities.
Hopefully he's gonna be able to get out here early next week and test it some more, ... and hopefully get him in the rotation next weekend.
