We're not coming out here to go home after the first round. That would be a supreme disappointment.
We had our bags packed, ready to go back to Atlanta. And all of a sudden, the rug is pulled out from under you. It's unfortunate. You go out there, lay it on the line for six hours, and 18 innings. To go home for the winter on a game like that is a bad feeling.
It was kinda cool - a career highlight. I don't care if it is an exhibition game. To be able to run around the bases with USA across my chest and have ( Ken Griffey ) Junior and Brian Schneider waiting at home plate to slap high-fives. That was special.
We don't want to go home and have everybody say that this team didn't accomplish what it should've accomplished.
Hopefully we can get back home quick enough and in time to get things straightened out.
I would never have thought I would have hit home runs off both those guys. They both have dominant, No. 1-type stuff. It was just one of those nights.
It's heartbreaking. We're really going home on a down (note).
