What we've done this spring has kind of prepared us for opening day.

There's no excuse for Miguel or myself not to get that run in. It probably cost us the game.

Miguel is a well-respected guy in the league, and that takes a lot of pressure off us.

He took a lot of pressure off the offense. We've been scratching and clawing and couldn't get anything, and when he hit that he kind of loosened us up a little bit.

The main thing this year that I haven't had in the past is I hadn't had a chance to be out there every day.

Games like tonight are real frustrating, when you get great pitching like we did and only scratch two runs across.
