You don't like anybody to beat you too much. I don't have a long memory. And as an athlete, you can't have too long of a memory. You've got to move on. I can sure remember last year though, because we played two of our worst games against them. ... But it's good to bounce back and get a win tonight. It's good to beat a good club.

In the past couple of games, it seems like (our infield) is starting to get things going a little better. I think we're going to get better and better. When you get in a big situation like that, with a double play you know you should turn, you just have to let it happen.

I thought our bullpen competed today. I like the way our bullpen came out today behind and instead of letting it compound, they stopped it. We brought guys in with runners in scoring position and they got us out of it and that's how we won the game.

It is a big weekend, and they're all big if we're going to win the league. After going 1-2 last week, it makes this weekend even bigger. We need to go out and be successful. We need to play at our level. If we play well, then we'll have a good weekend. I really expect us to do that.

We did a good job building an inning. We got some big base hits and putting the ball in play is always big. We didn't strikeout, and we moved runners around the bases.

It's become a lot better, it really has. That's a key for us. Our pitching has also come around and it keeps coming around a little more. We keep adding guys to the cycle. If you are going to pitch, then you have to be able to catch the ball. Then you'll have a great chance to win. That's where we're at, and it's good to see our defense come around.

Gunter had a nice outing. I think he's a little more comfortable out of the stretch, but he had great stuff today and shut them down after we scored.

It's nice having Brad (Daniel) in the bullpen.. We couldn't have asked him to come in and do a better job.

This is a weekend where we want to go out and let a couple of guys prove that they can be the guy who can step up into that other starting role for us. We're going to wait with Shawn and Rowdy (until next week). So they are going to get the opportunity and we'll see how guys respond.
