In Anaheim, you were fighting for your life every single night,

Chris was fighting through picks all night and he did a great job staying with him. But Taylor's got such a quick release. He can just go up and stick a 22-footer when his team really needs it.

Shawn put the team on his back. Tonight was his night, he was going to go down fighting.

Everybody talks about how great it is, but you don't really realize it until you get to come fresh to this city (St. Louis). It's amazing, ... Now you know why when someone comes in, they don't want to leave.

[This was not vintage Roger Clemens , and David Eckstein frowned when asked if this was a winnable contest, knowing his club squandered too many opportunities against the old ace.] We had our chances, ... I think his hamstring was bothering him. There was a play when he didn't run to cover first base. There may be something there.

Don't turn the channel, ... no matter what the score is.
