We've got to go back to their ballpark. We'll put this one behind us. We've been through too much this year not to. It hurts, but it's over. Move on.

Everything had to work perfectly on that double play, and it did. It was an unbelievable ending.

Overall everyone swung the bats and did everything right.

We've got to take care of our own business. If we don't do that, we could be sitting at home in a few weeks.

That way I won't have to miss any games. This is the time of year where it's a little bit of a tough time, and she didn't want me to miss any games, anyway.

We executed and we came out with a victory.

We were two, tired old men walking out there, holding each other up, letting the kids celebrate. I went to the training room and passed out.

It's a huge home run under the circumstances the last couple of days, with what my mom went through. She wanted me to get here and not miss any games.

It's a great feeling, a tremendous feeling. But we haven't accomplished anything yet.
