When I hit that ball, I thought I had a shot, but we are in Washington, so I had to run. Who knows what could have happened after that. The bottom line is that we lost tonight.

If they really cared. They'd move the fences in.

The guy was very aggressive. It's not like he was pitching around everybody. We just couldn't do our job.

It's up to me -- it's my call, ... Hopefully, I can start the game tomorrow. The pain has gone down a lot, and I think I can go out there and produce.

It was only 3-0. If you don't have a ball club that can come back from a 3-0 deficit you're in trouble. We've got what it takes to come back. It just didn't happen.

This ball club is a lot better than last year. There's no way we're going to keep doing this.

Something's got to be changed, but it's up to us. The changes that need to be done are within ourselves. The guys who are in the lineup need to perform.

We can't keep winning one game in a three-game series. We have to try to win the series or sweep it and we're not doing it.

I felt today that my knee was stronger than what it was, ... Right now, it's just going to be pain. ... The cortisone shot helped me a lot and also the time off the field I was able to get.
