I'm very happy for the guys. They work hard every day at practice and have had the goal since the start of the season.

We still want to work hard in practice to improve. That's the goal, to improve every day.

I was confident in the fielders behind me. We practice every day. We work well together so I was confident.

We only practice 20 minutes a day or else it feels too much like work. But, we may lengthen the practices to prepare for the Chess World Championships in Greece in late April.

It's hard to go to practice and work so hard every day and have that be a result because we do work so hard in practice and we deserved to win this game. I don't know if we weren't mentally prepared or what.

The first day of practice we set some lofty goals, and a lot of people might have laughed at them. But we told them at the very beginning, 'It doesn't matter what the rankings are. All we can do is control ourselves on the floor.' And these guys continue to amaze even me.
