They've been picking me up all year. So it's good for me to help those guys out a bit.

Every one of those throws would have been close. They just weren't accurate. He has a good, quick move.

It's amazing ? it looks like he's just playing catch with the mitt, even with the movement on his pitches. The other day, St. Louis has a good hitting lineup, and they were missing balls by a foot. You want the definition of pitching, it's him. You wonder how he gets it done.

We're all right -- but nobody likes to get their butts kicked. Who's to say we can't go on a tear? Definitely, we miss [Lee]. No sense talking about it every day. He's not coming back until after the All-Star break.

It was good to create a little havoc on the bases.

[Lee] was the one guy, I think, in the lineup that the opposing team really, really feared. Even on a bad day, he was going to get on two times.
