He pitched really well today. He's been efficient all year. When he goes to the mound, he will keep us in most games.

Chris had a great outing. They're a good hitting team, but Chris kept them at bay and kept us in the game. We played them tough the whole game and other than one pitch, we were right there with them.

Him being here today really showed us he still cares. He's our team captain. ... He's such a big part of our team.

Today they just blew us out of the water. When we didn't come out in the second half and put points on the board right away, it was pretty much over,

We are adjusting to the American market today.

To me, this is as good as a BCS game. Everybody will be watching us. It's not like one of those rinky-dink bowl games that people don't watch. This is a big-time bowl.
