This is a much-needed win for a national movement, ... because we have experienced so many losses at the polls over the last year.

He wants to win. I like what they've done. I hated to see Wily Mo [Pena] go, but we needed pitching.

It's kind of like getting the monkey off our back, so to speak. We really needed that win. Nobody wants to drop five straight.

If you look at the polls, you'd have to say, the mayor is likely to win. I don't believe in polls, but a lot of Democrats are saying, 'It's over.' I know Freddy is not saying that, and I'm not saying that. You just have to hold out hope.

We're an experienced team. We like that pressure. We'll learn from the close losses last year.

This was big for us after coming off two losses to get a win like this, ... It was nice to finally win on the road.
