It's hard to picture him not being here.
It's a mistake. People are going to make mistakes. He obviously did a good job blocking it out.
It's always weird when you're facing guys that you played with.
It looked like some people might have been scared. It's something I think everyone will remember.
It's huge. Hopefully he's healthy tomorrow and he can continue to go for us.
It was like old times, aside from the color of the uniform. It seems like he never left. It was very familiar.
The feeling is that it's over. It doesn't always happen, but that's the feeling you have. Mo has been automatic for a while.
(The fans) were with him until he got picked off second.
It's something that happened two or three months ago, ... It really wasn't a big deal, so I don't know why it's a big issue today.
It's sort of like in New York - people always say with all the talent we have, we should make it to the World Series, right? But no matter how you look at it, talent doesn't win games, performance wins games. There are a lot of people who are talented who don't necessarily perform.
Everyone here has been fighting for a while. We've been playing well for a couple of months. Hopefully we'll go out there tomorrow night and play good.
Everyone here has been fighting for a while,
He never throws the ball straight, ... He just has nasty stuff, especially when he faces me.
He throws a lot of strikes and he works quickly. So you can't get back on your heels behind him. That helps us out on defense.
