I just figured sooner or later something would happen. It's just that you have to keep putting up zeros on the other side against a team that is swinging the bat pretty well. Justin was able to do that.

The first game was interesting. We had a four-run lead and squandered it, but Daly puts up zeros, Derek gets the big hit and Steven (Wright) closes it. Steven had to get his work in and 25 pitches was just right.

You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

You know, it was going to happen sooner or later. We understand that. Whether it's another year, another two years, whatever, we know it's going to happen. We know nobody can play forever. But for now, the thing I'm happy about the most is that he's down here and he's getting the opportunity to play. And he's such a professional, if he can't play, he'll let you know it.

We don't intend to let this fall by the wayside. It's going to happen sooner or later, but it's a big job, and we need many, many minds.

It needed to happen sooner or later, and it was important for us to win three in a row now and take it on the road. It seems like we've been on the road all year, but we have to play better on the road.
