John wasn't out there and wasn't awful, but he obviously wasn't as crisp as we had seen him and as crisp as he was against the Yankees .
John looks ready to go. He's one of the top pitchers in our league. He had quite a year.
John Lackey is probably the biggest story. He was terrific for eight innings.
John did something that he hasn't done since last year. He would bend but not break. He was good in the early going but it got away from him.
We had to pitch well tonight. John did a great job, along with Scot and Frankie. We got some big two-out hits, which were important.
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.
It is an aggressive baserunning play. I don't think it is one we're going to design unless you're Willie Mays Hayes.
Those guys improvised, and we were able to get it done.
We don't get to Jamie very often. We were fortunate tonight.
We don't get to Jamie very often, ... Fortunately, we got to him a little bit tonight.
We had a lot of guys in our 'pen step up. Kelvim just shined the whole night. That's one of the big reasons why we have him for depth down there, and tonight it certainly paid off.
Our starting rotation has been the heartbeat of our club,
Our goal is to have every catcher relate to every pitcher. I don't think there is anything getting in our way of using any catcher at any time.
Our feeling is this: I know the guys in our clubhouse. If they scheduled a game for 1 in the morning, we're going to show up and play, ... We have a tough schedule, but we're still playing baseball and we're getting to do something we enjoy.
