It was a great tournament. That's what you want to get out of tournaments — more baseball.

We were trying to save him for the last game. He's probably our best. He's got a slow curve, and he's got a quick curve. That's his best pitch. If he's on, he's tough. But we're trying to find somebody to throw strikes right now.

We didn't throw a lot of strikes. We're trying to find a No. 3 pitcher.

They made some errors, and maybe instead of 8-0 it might have been 4-0. We didn't have a good day at the plate, either. I think we're a little better than what we showed. We had about five called (strikeouts), and I don't like that too much. The calls don't bother me, but the looking bothered me.

I enjoy baseball. I go to the home baseball games, I got to the home basketball games. I don't travel anymore except the Rose Bowl and the Oklahoma [football game].

Major League Baseball has created a Pete Rose purgatory, and that's where he is. And that's where he's always going to be. It's unfortunate that the commissioner's office has decided to allow that to be the reality. I don't think Pete would mind if they said 'No' to Pete. Pete wants them to go one way or the other and get him out of the void he's in.
