When this first came up I thought, 'You've got to be kidding. Why would you want to play with us?' ... We are very fortunate. He adds a very big sound to the bottom line.

I'm surprised at how we played. I thought we would play much better.

They thought I had what it takes to play there. I was impressed by them.

Another sound defensive game for us, and that's been our key. If we play sound defense and back up our pitchers then we're coming out on top.

Nobody probably thought that, but we knew if we run our plays, they couldn't stop us. Our offense is a force to be reckoned with. You can come in here lackadaisical if you want; we'll put up 56 on you.

I really thought Brady did a good job for us tonight. He was poised, and his passes were on the money. But we just couldn't pull it out.
