The only thing I know so far is that whenever he was with L.A. (Dodgers), they won. It sure is nice to have someone that's won in the past.

He's a winner. In talking to guys who have been with the Dodgers, they would say they enjoyed having him as manager. He works hard at what he does, he talks to them, and you can see that their pitching and fundamentals always have been strong. With the talent we have, I don't see any reason why he can't continue his successful run here.

If you're the Dodgers you've got to make sure that when your players are here they're going to be able to have the same competitive things new stadiums offer. Ours is less than that, but it's passable.

It was just not enough. If we were like NASCAR and had bumpers, I'm sure I would have won the race.

It's been 25 years since we last won this cup and we want to make sure we win it properly. We didn't want to play 30 minutes of extra time, and we should have taken care of the game long before then.

The fact we won is more important but it is special for me as far as coming back from an injury. I'm wearing a lighter brace now and it's nice to be able to do things I wasn't able to do before.
