I felt better in the second half in terms of being able to throw the ball where I wanted to throw it. I'm glad to have had (Sunday) so that if I have to go in a game in the postseason I feel like I'll be more prepared.

Basically, the money has been cut in half because there are more free agents on the market with less money to spend on them. This whole situation, it's not good for any of us and it's not good for the game. Something that was so healthy is now not so healthy.

There's no sentiment in it for me. We still have a long road ahead of us. I think it's important for us to play well and fix some of the things that happened to us last week, but not at the detriment of next week's game. We have to be smart.

I felt terrible for him. The only chance I got to see him was at halftime, and that was briefly. It almost brought me tears going in there and seeing him. I consider him my best friend. I felt terrible for him, to have to go down that way.

The decisions he's making are awesome, ... He's just been so consistent, and he hasn't made any unforced errors. He's playing so well right now that we can falter a little bit in other areas and he's making up for it.

It was a weird game. You felt like they were trying to hurry up and get the game over with, so they could get to (the playoffs).

When you get to the playoffs, you know you're the only game going on and you know everybody is watching and you know the ramifications. You have to maintain an even keel. You can be down 10 or up 10, you can't let that affect you.

The hardest thing for me is getting the timing back. But I was glad I had the chance today. If I go into a game in the postseason, then I feel like I will be more prepared.
