Probably not, but it's a tremendous compliment to him and his abilities that he's even considered.

I probably had more butterflies today than any playoff game. There was a tremendous amount of pride to walk into our clubhouse and see 30 guys with some pretty darn big egos and put them aside for this.

If I were to look at it objectively, I'd probably favor other teams as well. But there's something about this clubhouse and this uniform. We walk out on the field and expect to win. I know other teams walk out on the field and they're hoping to win. And there's a big difference. We expect to win. It's not going to be any different this year. If we don't win this division, everyone in this clubhouse will be shocked.

It was awesome. The Mexican fans created a lot of electricity. I probably had more butterflies out there than any playoff game and I wasn't even starting.

We're not coming out here to go home after the first round. That would be a supreme disappointment.

I considered it a great compliment then and I still consider it a great compliment now.
