When you load the bases with no outs, you want to score more than one run. When we added Lopez's two to the run we got earlier that inning, it was sort of a springboard for the rest of the game.

There's nothing worse than loading the bases and scoring one run. Jose is still not a polished player, but he has a chance to become one.

We finally won our first extra-inning game and our first one-run game. When these things end, the way they end is usually like pulling teeth.

You don't try a double steal very often, but we tried it tonight and it worked. When you run a double steal, you're betting on them throwing through. When they don't, it makes you look awfully foolish.

They had the bases loaded an no outs there in the fifth. We brought Jimmy in there and he did a real good job of getting out of that inning.

Five runs with two outs is tough to take. It sure took the air out of our balloon.
