Ortiz hit the solo shot and we had the base open, so we figured we'd let Guillermo go after Manny. He was just able to pull it the opposite way.

That was a tough one with Omar. I knew he didn't want to hit leadoff, and fortunately we had other people who could get us through it without him hitting leadoff.

I wasn't going to let [Wells] beat me. We had a base open; that was the plan.

I always wanted to go to Yale. I figured out the only way to get there was to open up the shop.

We stranded a lot of base runners tonight. Pat (Gonzales) finally got that big hit with the bases loaded.

That's a good lineup over there. At 1-0, you really don't think a solo shot is going to beat you. But it was enough tonight. All four of their pitchers pitched great, kept us down and never gave us any air to get any runs.
