We wanted to win this series and we got that done. To get out ahead of that team for the first time in a long time, that's a good thing.
We're all confident right now. Everybody is pitching well. Everybody is hitting well. We keep swinging like this, and I don't see a whole lot changing.
I got it done today. I really didn't have my 'A' game. ... I really didn't feel like I had good zip on my fastball today, but I was still able to locate it pretty good. I know I got them looking for fastballs, and then started throwing changeups a little.
Mostly, I was throwing fastballs and locating them.
It is about doing skills, but it also really about teamwork, following directions and so forth.
I just play to win. I play to be competitive; that's it. I think every player hopes that they do something special that everyone remembers later in life, or whatever. But that's not why we're playing. At least, that's not why I play.
You can't miss over the plate with him -- him and Manny both. That's their team. Usually, Ortiz puts a pretty good swing on me.
