It's a good win today, not a must-win but pretty darn important. The little things are something we've really got to do consistently.

This is probably the toughest seven-day stretch of our year, in two places we haven't played real well. So we really need to buckle down and play as well as we can.

It was good to see us bounce back, ... You look at them, a bunch of Hall of Famers and All-Stars, and they're phenomenal. We've been hearing about that all year, but you get into September, and we've got the same record as them.

He's a pretty even-keeled guy. That helps, especially this year. It's hard enough when you are going through all the ups and downs. If you have to deal with that and a manager who's up and down, that's more of a pain than you need.

Mulder surprised me more than Hudson. I wasn't surprised that Hudson got traded because we only had him for a year more. We had Mulder for a couple more. Billy is not one to have a couple good years and then completely start over. He saw an opportunity to get some quality guys and he jumped on it. It's really paid off. It's pretty amazing.

Those are two places we haven't played well, ... so we're really going to have to buckle down.

There hasn't been any of that. Nobody's going to feel sorry for us, and we're not going to feel sorry for ourselves. We know we're not as good a team without those guys. We know that every guy has to pick up a little slack because of it. Bottom line, we're hanging in there. We're right there without them.

We've got a lot of young guys who have really flown up the learning curve.
