I wanted to go out and get off to a good start, so I could forget about what happened last week,

When your team's doing that stuff, it makes it easy to throw strikes.

I would have liked to have somebody stand behind me and say: 'We've got your back. Go out there and shut them down from here on. But that didn't happen today, so whatever.

I can't complain about being here, ... We have been in the playoff hunt the last four years. I like playing here, and I think this other stuff can be resolved. I know little things have come up, but they have been resolved.

There's no division among the players, ... It's been a uphill battle, and we've been feeling the pressure and sometimes it's come out the wrong way, but I think everyone has handled it. There have not been any knock-down, drag-out fights.

I wish I hadn't reacted the way I did, ... but it was my reaction and it was wrong.
