I'm still focused on these last few games this month,

It was really frustrating. Not so much that (the games) were so close. We started out (the trip) so good and it went downhill so fast.

We really emphasize how big these Western Division games are. We are the Western Division champs and we want to come out here and defend our title. So we wanted to come out here and play this game strong and we did.

Even if we had not been able to lay this extra thick, ready to play turf, the games scheduled this weekend would be going ahead as the surface is not dangerous. What has happened is that we knew we had a problem with the grass when it was covered up for too long.

In too many games we played five or six innings of great baseball and then just cruised through the ninth. To be the dominant team we want to be we need to keep the pressure on our opponents every inning.

We have to take the positive things we?ve learned from all the games we have played, use them to get better, and just know that every game will be another biglearning experience.
