It's definitely a loss, being without Thome. But the way Ryan Howard's playing right now, I think that we'll be OK.

They were really loud. It felt like 100,000, so it was fun to pitch.

You can't be selfish. Right now is a serious situation for us. The Braves lost tonight, and the Wild Card is still in our favor. If the same situation comes up again, I won't be happy, but I'll do what I've got to do ... This game is more about your team and not about yourself.

I tried to throw it on the corner. He could have easily popped it up.

I wasn't worried, ... The main thing was getting them to put the ball in play.

If you look at my pitch selection, I just tried to get them to put the ball in play rather than strike them out.

When Howard hit that home run, I thought here we go, ... You know and when Kenny (Lofton) made those two catches in the sixth that really got us charged up.

We've got to do what we need to do to win games.

In order for you to be an ace or considered an ace, you've got to step up and match the other teams' aces. This was a big game for us.
