That's something we haven't found a way to do this year - win ugly games. This was an ugly one, but it was a good one.

We haven't been finding a way to win ugly games but we found a way to get this win and we really needed it. It was a very much needed win. Both teams have people out with injuries. That's when teams are most dangerous because guys step up and play hard. We've been on both sides of it. It was an ugly game but a good game.

They always say the sign of a good team is winning ugly. The last two games, we've won pretty ugly.

People like to use the word 'ugly' in big defensive games. But these two teams play hard physically.

I hope they throw me right in the fire. I pitch my best in those kinds of games.

Fess up, 'Hunger Games' fans: Does anyone care about Peeta or find him attractive? He's the Ron Weasley of the series: he gets points for callow valor and sympathy for his run of bad luck, but he remains a pasty, earnest bore.
