If he feels better (playing) just one game, I would probably push him towards the Phoenix game.

Phoenix was hungry, tougher, wanted it more and it bordered on being embarrassing.

We were playing to show people how New Orleans feels -- the resolve to push on and come back. And, at least for today, this team exemplified that.

His ankle is really sore. Playing on that surface probably made it more significant.

It feels great. Just playing with all these guys is unreal. And getting this outcome in the game was great.

My arm feels great and I wanted to pitch. (Wednesday's) game was a bad one. This was much better. Much more like us.
