If he was trying to take me out, he did a poor job.
Hopefully we can get back home quick enough and in time to get things straightened out.
It was awesome. The Mexican fans created a lot of electricity. I probably had more butterflies out there than any playoff game and I wasn't even starting.
You can't print what I said, but they have to catch us.
The guy still knows how to pitch. He's not throwing 96 (mph) like used to, but he's sinking it, he's cutting it, he's changing speeds on us.
Logic would say Roger has the upper hand in that situation.
But the bigger picture is, you can't do that late in the season and the playoffs and expect to win. Andruw's not going to come through every time. Contrary to what some people think, he's not Superman.
Old men need a little rest. We need to get some of these young guys off the bench.
With a guy like Edgar, a good situational hitter, we'll be fine.
We needed to exorcise some demons from last night. It was a little worrisome what happened last night. But tonight, what more can you say? They did a great job.
We'll just wait and see how it feels. Right now, I feel like my ankle took the brunt of it.
What's astounding to me is not that the guys have come up and helped. It's this year, guys have come up from Double-A and not (just) helped - I mean, they've produced. That's been shocking. You get a couple guys from Triple-A come up and help, that's very, very lucky.
We had our bags packed, ready to go back to Atlanta. And all of a sudden, the rug is pulled out from under you. It's unfortunate. You go out there, lay it on the line for six hours, and 18 innings. To go home for the winter on a game like that is a bad feeling.
We don't want to go home and have everybody say that this team didn't accomplish what it should've accomplished.
