I did some things, and I realize that no one in this game likes to be shown up, ... If I did anything while I was walking off the field in frustration, I didn't mean it. I'm fine with the explanation [Manuel] gave me.

So far it?s looking like that. We had the lead for a little bit, now Houston does, and you have Florida and Washington right there. It?s probably going to come down to who gets hot in the last week or two of the season, and there?s no reason why it can?t be us.

He?s playing like a veteran. He?s a smart guy and puts a lot of thought into every at-bat. When (Jim) Thome went out of the lineup everyone thought it was a big hit to our offense, and Ryan Howard has picked up the slack.

I?ll never complain about that.

I didn't feel too much pressure to have to get a win. It's big. Hopefully we can win tomorrow and get a little bit of momentum. If we can take a few series in a row and Houston slows down a little bit, everything's going to be right back to where it was before.

Anything I do right now with twisting, I'll probably feel it. If I had already gone five good innings, I probably would have come out then, but I wanted to get one more inning in. I didn't think it was that bad.

That's definitely on our minds.

I know it wasn't real pretty, ... That was one of the biggest double plays I've had all year (in the third). I knew we'd get at least one out but I never thought they'd turn it.
