He's the best pitcher in the American League, period. Fortunately, he didn't have his A game. That shows how good he is.

He's the best hitter in the game when it counts. The best clutch hitter I've ever seen.

Charlie Weis is as good of an offensive mind as I've been around. He's the best game-day coach I've ever been around. I'm a fan of his and the way he was able to motivate the offense and help people make plays and get them to win.

Derek is so talented, you know that over the course of a game, he's going to do something dramatic. I've seen it enough times in my career from the other side. He's very, very professional when the game is on the line.

If we have a pitcher who doesn't have her best stuff, the other will somehow be on her game. If someone is not hitting well, there is somebody else who is. Somebody always steps up and we get it done.

We were shown all the scenarios after the game and we were kind of in awe. A lot of guys thought it was runs scored, so we thought maybe we'd have to go out and try and beat South Africa by a lot of runs. But it's runs allowed, and the South Africa score does not count. That's strange, too.
