The game wasn't over.

We need to win every game. Bottom line.

I'm glad this matter has been resolved. Basically, I'm looking forward to spring training.

It sounds so clich to say this, but all we have to do is take one game at a time. We can't worry about anything other than that.

I haven't seen this since college.

There is a difference. How it?s different I?m not sure I can explain. I know that we?re playing the game better. There?s an attitude that, even when we get beat, we come back in the next day and we?re ready to go.

I get the feeling from the dugout and from the clubhouse that a lot of guys are still confident.

I think we're carrying some momentum going forward. We've played well since the end of that Houston series. We're getting a lot of men on base.

It would be different if we were talking about a war game or something with realistic ties. You're never going to fight a zombie in real life - or at least you're hoping not to.
