When I look at this team, I still don't feel as though we are very far away. I think for us to get close, we still have to work hard and do the things we are capable of, but we do have the chance to get back and come back strong.

The consistency I've had, I think, is the most important thing. When I'm pitching, I feel our team is going to have an opportunity to win the game. I like that the best of everything I've accomplished this year.

When I see someone else on the team get a 3, it makes me feel good. When I get out there I want to back them up and get some.

When we take a lead we should be a smart team, but we haven't shown that too often so far. But I know our guys are going to play a little smarter and they know how important every game is in the playoffs. I believe in this team and I said at the beginning of the season that this team is going to surprise a lot of people. So we'll see.

Even though you feel different and look different when you're pregnant, you're essentially still the same person, the same you.

I watched the 'Dream Team' and I can remember as far back as when (Drazen) Petrovic played (in 1988), so to be an Olympian feels like I achieved a life-long accomplishment.
