I hope we can score five or six runs tomorrow. I hope this will help get our confidence back. There's a lot of baseball left, I hope we can get going again.

By this time of year, we've heard [Beane] throw three or four tantrums. So far -- none. He won't say it, but he relishes the fact that everyone counted us out, and here we are.

Ellis is locked in. A week ago, we couldn't find a hit, and now we're back to being comfortable about scoring runs. As good as our pitching is... our hitting will really dictate how we do.

We lost. The numbers say you're out and the season is over -- that's it. I think it was quite evident we were not going to do it. The numbers and history were not on our side. When he caught the ball, that's the end, There's no more.
