There was no give from either team. Both teams fought to the end. I'm just disappointed for the players that we lost.

We did three things: We pitched well today, we played good defense and we had timely hitting. When you put those three things together, you can give yourselves an opportunity to win the ball game.

I thought it was a very good game. Both teams played hard, and both teams pitched well and, for the most part, played pretty good defense. We had some opportunities with guys on base; we just couldn't get the bunt down to advance the runner.

We lost our whole infield, three pitchers and one outfield position. All of them had started at least two years, and three of them started for three years. But, life goes on. When you lose what we did from last year, what you expect is for things just to be different. Different isn't always bad.

[King] also wouldn't be happy to see that the people here in D.C. still don't have rights when it comes to voting.
