We tried to win it. So we'll take the point and go from there. In all facets of our game, I was pleased.

I tried a little too hard early. I pitched like it was a playoff game. We needed to win. The guys came through. I knew if I could keep it close, we would have a chance.

I just don't like playing (Burke) back-to-back at this point in the season, so Johnny went in.

Absolutely, but in today's game, where are we going to go with the (salary) cap? I am (upset) at what is happening there because I thought our team played very well tonight. And this has gone on for quite a while. Is there other options out there? We can't do (anything).

I just couldn't wait to start another game. That was probably, to me, one of the toughest losses I've gone through. I'm glad they responded.

Earlier this season, he had lost a little bit of bite to his game. I think he is showing signs of (getting back to his game).
