Damon is a great shooter with range. He can break a game open like he did tonight.

We're going to miss Damon. He was a great shooter. . . . He got what he wanted, but he gave up a lot. No more night life, no more warm weather and no more a lot of media attention. . . . I guess this was his first shot at getting something big. I guess he had to take it.

The first thing you notice with Steven is what a great shooter he is ? he has unlimited range. But he's also a good passer and he's very unselfish. He puts the team first and personal stats second, and that's reflected in the success Willard had.

We have played better than we did tonight. Unfortunately, it's the biggest game of the year.

It started with the leadoff walk to Cora and the walk to Damon. Those two are things you can't do against the Red Sox. You've got to get in the zone. You've got to make pitches. Ervin was a little bit off.

Earl is their quickest player. He can break a game open.
