You stop and look where we were Tuesday, finishing with six games at home and playing the way we were playing, it was a great position to be in.
This is the kind of game that can get you pretty high for tomorrow or else be tough to come back from.
All of the games right now are big, so I just hope we go out and score 10 runs off him.
I don't know if you ever get over it. We were really close and weren't able to finish it off.
Since we've been home, it's only been the one game where we scored any runs. We're missing out on a lot of chances and not hitting with men in scoring position. Everybody is frustrated that we're not swinging the bats better.
He has been pretty impressive to watch the last couple of months.
He's a guy that's very well respected on the team - the ace of the staff. It's a huge pick-me-up for everybody to have him back on the mound.
It was frustrating. I kept waiting for the next day to feel better. After about 10 days, and I wasn't getting better, I started to get concerned. I finally got to the point where I knew it was going to take some time.

I don't know what happened this last week. We just didn't finish it off.
Even after losing two of three to Tampa, I still thought we were in great position.
We had played lights out in the month of September, but I don't know what happened last week. Coming into this last week I thought we had it nailed down, especially how we were playing.
We played lights out all of September. I don't know what happened this last week.
