All we want to do is win. If we win, we make up ground in the wild card and the division. All I care about is getting to the playoffs any way possible.

Has that shtick about being a dumb country boy, but he's mentally tough and intelligent.

I didn't know what he (Sizemore) was trying to do. I thought he had to go to the bathroom or something. I guess he didn't have any confidence in me (to bring him home).

This is the kind of game that can get you pretty high for tomorrow or else be tough to come back from.

He has been pretty impressive to watch the last couple of months.
