The early runs were big for us. We feel like we can come from behind, basically because we haven't been ahead very much. I mean, it was great to be ahead, and it helped everybody relax.

These guys don't like to be pushed around. And they're not going to be pushed around. They proved that.

The feeling is almost identical to the one I had after the series against Ohio Valley (to advance to the playoffs). It feels good, but at the same time, there's still work to be done.

It's like I've said so many times. You find out what you're made of in the playoffs, especially now. Not just players, but coaches, bat boys, writers, radio broadcasters and fans. This is what it's all about.

This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,

Amber always asserted to him that he was the only guy she was sleeping with during that time period so Anthony's never had any reason to question it. Anthony's big thing is that his reputation has been harmed. This poor guy can't go anywhere without people pointing at him.

This didn't give us any advantage at all. We're just a bunch of real scrappy players fighting for their lives right now.

The whole decision was based on Lovell. The way his ball moves, I was afraid they (Florence's hitters) were going to start taking pitches and getting walks. With the power they have over there, we didn't want to be in that situation.

This is as good a group as we've ever had.

As I've always said, you find out what kind of player you are in the playoffs. And I know what kind of players these guys are.
