Our bullpen did a great job, and we dodged some bullets. It's hard to keep [the Reds] in the ballpark. If you can keep them in the ballpark, you have a chance to beat them.

First I have to see him out of the bullpen. I do know Ryan Dempster is my closer.

It was hard real hard. Rem was great about it. He's a real pro.

Make no mistake about it—we dodged a bullet here, perhaps many bullets.

It's not over with yet. You don't know if somebody is going to offer Sammy a job here soon or what is going to happen. But Sammy has been one of the great players of the game for a long time and a guy who meant a lot to Chicago and a lot to the game. . . . I just hope he gets a job somewhere.
