Paul Byrd Came Quotations

It came down to a few plays of execution. We were able to execute. It's not a situation where they failed. We just executed well.

I have to give credit to Tampa Bay, they did a great job of hitting the ball. But the bottom line is, our offense overcame my poor start and I'll be able to sleep tonight because of that.

I came here because I believe this organization has a chance to win now and on into the future.

I pitched OK. I didn't pitch exceptionally well, but I didn't think I pitched five runs poorly. The bottom line is we won the game. I can't say enough about how we played as a team. One of the reasons I came here was the way our team plays, and you saw that (yesterday).

I got us through six, ... But the bottom line is, our bullpen came in and picked me up when, reasonably, they could have been tired.
