It's a real dream come true to win here. Roland Hemond once told me to enjoy the moment and that's what I'm going to do. The hardest thing to do is win the division. It takes six months. Now we can look forward to playing in October.

It's not about him; it's about the team, ... I told him, 'If you're going to be unhappy and pouting, then I can't put you out there to pitch.' He said he was unhappy, but he was ready to do whatever the team needs. I'm comfortable that's how he really feels.

I always say you don't just win with homers. You need a bunt, you need a hit-and-run, you need a steal. Those are the little things that helped us out to win 105 games last year and those are the things that are helping us out this year to win some games.

The way it's all come together, it's just been amazing. If anybody goes to that show and doesn't completely enjoy themselves, I'll return the price of their ticket out of my own pocket.

What's different about this club, when you have this many setbacks, it's usually part of why you don't win or you barely squeeze by in the last week of the season with a good but not great record. To have this kind of run and play this quality of baseball for this long is why this club deserves a very different kind of credit.

There's a way to win when the other guy is pitching good against you. You've got to pitch and defend well against them. We didn't defend that well today, either.
