They looked all-world today, but it's a long season. They have certainly made some very good improvements. Our league is going to have to watch out for the Blue Jays.
It was just a momentum swing. We had momentum early, then we couldn't stop them. ... You wouldn't want to judge any team on their best day or on their worst day.
Once the ball was thrown away, we thought, 'O.K., let's take advantage of it,'
It's just one game. We can't get too carried away.
It seems like it was inevitable. You knew we'd win today. You knew Boston would win today. Even when they were down, 4-1, you kind of had a feeling.
It seems like it's inevitable. We both have great teams and we have to go through Boston now. They're the world champs. And you have to go through New York. We know that and they know that.

It was shock. You almost feel like you have three, four more innings to play and the game is over. They made a 6-4-3 double play and it's time to go back home. It doesn't seem fair, but they beat us plain and simple in the field.
It was the first opportunity of this sort that I had, and that was definitely good. I definitely felt very proud.
It's obvious that he's going through a lot of things right now. The fact that he's out there tells you how important these games are for us and what kind of a person he is. In the state of mind he's in, for him to hit that ball the way he did, it was a great momentum changer for us.
It just doesn't get any better this. This is the best time of my life, the most fun time in my baseball career. I don't remember a race like this since I've been around.
It's going to be totally up to Joe, ... I guess we'll have to see when I wake up in the morning.
It's frustrating because you see how devastating he can be. You talk to guys on other teams and they marvel at how good his stuff is. When he puts it together, he's going to be a force for us.
It's frustrating, because we know what the potential is, going back to Opening night. Not to be able to score more than one run, we have to get in a rhythm. We're going to be fine, but we want to get started, hopefully tomorrow.
