It certainly hurts our national title hopes, but it doesn't completely wipe them away. It's not like they blew us out. For us, the big picture is we have to win out. But we had to win out anyway. It's not the end.

We're relaxed and confident. From here on out it's up to us to win and put the last few months behind us.

We controlled most of the game. It took us a while to settle down. But once we did, we were all right. Now we have the toughest part of our schedule coming up.

If they had any human feeling, they would give us the visas straightaway.

This was a good series for us, ... We could have very easily taken all four. We have two months to go. We know where San Diego is, we know where the Dodgers are. We haven't had a good run yet, this was a good start for us.

It was really weird to be honest because every game the last two years he's been down there. You have a system we have developed and it kind of took us out of that. On top of that, you're wondering if the guy is all right. I was told it was pretty bad.
