God, that is a long time ago. It's not everything, but it's a start.

You don't expect guys that's in the big leagues to come down here and try to be a part of our team again, and see us do well, and maybe go all the way. That's been the trademark of this club, how well they've got along and pulled for each other all year.

It's not so much one guy, but you got a flu bug like that, you worry about it going through the locker room.

We didn't swing the bats well for three games really. They [Braves pitching] had to create the runs for us the first game with a bunch of walks, and really we should have won that game Saturday - that's the one that was the killer. Really, we were never in command today.

To come in and throw strikes and get people out in a pressure situation like this was just outstanding. He showed a lot of poise.

Don Kelly came up with a couple clutch hits for us tonight.

[Ennis] was the guy tonight.

That's a key guy in our lineup, you need him and he took an 'ofer' in this series. If he doesn't go, then we don't go.

We couldn't have done it without the support of the fans and we are excited to get out there and try to bring another championship back to Toledo.
