Defense usually doesn't make many headlines, but it goes a long way towards winning baseball games. There are a number of ways to make an impact during the course of a game, and playing solid, sound defense is one of them.

We need to play well. We have to go out there and continue to play with the intensity we have and hopefully it will be good enough.

We never talked about it, never had to challenge ourselves any more than usual. We wanted to play well and win. We felt we had the best team, so every time we played, we thought we should win.
