I definitely know that I can do it again. I don't think it was a fluke by any means. I'm sure there are a lot of people that do, but those people have their opinions.

It's a tough game. It's not easy to go out and win a ballgame.

It looks like we have the best staff, but it is hard to say. You have to stay healthy and you have to go out and do the job and you have to be playing good baseball, especially when it counts the most.
