It doesn't mean anything unless we win tomorrow night.
Now it's even. We've just got to go over there and try to win a series.
Our lineup has been thin all year. We just need to win a game and we won't be worried anymore.
I don't know if anybody realizes what's really going on. But to have the most wins in the modern era, I think is pretty special.
The ball carried good to left field early in the day and I think the wind shifted. It's just going to be one of those things where you have to wait and see. But it was a perfect day, you can't ask for anything more.
It's nice. We're trying to really be careful and not get it out of control. We're working toward the goal of winning the World Series. This is a good step.
It's nice to be home. It's been a long six weeks in spring training and then start off on the road. It's a beautiful place and I'm glad we could pull out a win for everybody.
Roger pitched a Roger game. They got two great pitching performances and we haven't been able to score. But if we win tomorrow, we're even. There's a lot of games left to play.
I think Brad, to me, is the best closer in the game. His stuff is way above average, and he's got a good idea what he's doing. He's still kind of new to the league, and guys really haven't gotten a feel for him. But I think even if you have a feel for him, you still don't have much of a chance.
I saw his postseason record was 1-5, and I was really surprised, ... I remember some of the games he pitched -- two hits, one run against Arizona a couple years ago. He's a big-game pitcher.
Our fans are the biggest key for us, that's where we get our energy from. Really the ballpark is just secondary right now for us, it's the fans that make a difference.
Our fans are the biggest key for us. That's how we get our energy.
Really, the ballpark is secondary for us. It's the fans that will hopefully put us over the top.
It eases the attitude of the team when you know the whole staff can grind out nine innings and they're going to give us a chance to win. It improves the attitude of our team and it improves the effort of our team.
