This is a team that knows how to come back. We don't let one game get us down. Remember early in the season, we had some tough times.
This is teamwork. We've been able to do the little things.

He was nice and relaxed. You could see that he wasn't rushing and just letting the ball go.

When he's down in the zone he's really tough to hit. He went through a tough time but he was tough enough to keep himself on the mound and really battle.

They (Venezuela) asked me to play, but that's all I've heard. They did say they were going to have three catchers. Some people are saying that I would be the DH.

If I see other guys throwing away things, I ask them for it and send it home for the young players there.

If I can, I will watch. I want to be in that position soon.
