We can't look at the standings. If we play the way we are capable of playing, we will reach our goal.
We had some opportunities on the offensive side. We got into a position but we fell short.
Umpiring of baseball has been around since Day 1 and some calls are missed, but most of the time they get it right, ... Instant replay in baseball? I don't know if it is ever going to be such a plus that is should be a part of our game. There are plays that are going to be bang bang. But you have to absorb that and play good baseball.
What Francisco did in 2002, ... was remarkable.
We were not very good on the mound. That was the story.
We did a lot of good things. We played more the type of game we need ... and we brought our game on to the field today. That's what we have to do on a consistent basis.
We can't get into a slugfest with these guys, ... We have to manufacture, we have to run the bases hard and we have to run them well. We're confident we're going to do that and that's the type of game we have to bring.

We don't get to Jamie very often. We were fortunate tonight.
You have to remember, ... he was No. 1 on a lot of people's list a couple of years ago.
We'll see how things set up. There are things we're looking at. Certainly we want to give Bart as many starts as we can, and the same with John Lackey.
(Washburn) is feeling better but it could be more than one start (missed). He'll pitch when he's at a level that he can go out there and compete and not be at risk.
