And he reached back and threw the ball like we knew he could. His command (control) was outstanding. That was the best aspect of his game.

All three of our pitchers (Thursday) gave me a tremendous amount of confidence.

He's our No. 1. He's been throwing the ball pretty well, but we're going to limit his pitches until after spring break. League play is what is most important - and his health more than anything.

Clearly, it was a crucial time because of the difficulties in the technology capital markets. We had to face the question of do you continue or not.

I owe a dollar to the fine box. The kids won the game despite me.

It's like I said, if you can't pick it up, you can't win.

That's probably my fault. He was pitching on three days rest.

It's tough when you break down like that in the seventh.

It was a red play. Which means do not run until the ball is out of the infield.

It was a very good day for him.
