After playing the Yankees and coming here, we're the most important team in baseball right now,
I think with Jason as our captain, he can lead us in the right direction.
Kevin will be missed. He was the guy that always kept things light and humorous and funny. Baltimore is getting a pretty good hitter and a great teammate, a guy that makes things fun.
He's almost identical to Doug as far as his hands are concerned, and he's really easy to throw to.
He did a good job today back there. First time getting in the game is a totally different animal than catching on the side. I thought he did a really good job back there today.
That ball was smashed. The way the wind was blowing, that shows how strong the guy really is.
My wife and I went out to dinner a few days after it all happened. I wasn't sure what to expect, but people were coming up to us saying, 'Thanks for what you did,' and 'We never would have gotten there without you.' I was humbled by it.
I had good stuff from the bullpen going into the game. The ball stayed up for Stairs, and from there it was a battle to keep the team in the game the rest of the way. You hate to put your team in a deficit right away. Manny got us back in the game, and it was my job to keep us there.
I'm not using that as an excuse. I made some bad pitches.
I'm not worried. They're all professionals, regardless of where they came from.
I'd rather not talk about myself like that. I'm sorry.
I don't think we can get in the other way. I think we need to win the division to get in. There are too many other teams playing well.
He's not the reason we're losing - I am. So get off him.
He's Mr. Clutch. He proved that last post-season.
