This is one of the most resilient teams I've been on. Whether we get shut out, whether we lose, whether we win this team the next day, it doesn't faze them,

Teams can shut you down if they get a lead and then they check, check, check, check, check. Well if we come out and get going, they've got to open it up to try to score. So that's a real focus for us - we have to start good.

Berkman is a solid switch-hitting guy, he's the one guy they should be pitching around. Berkman is a different hitter in Houston than on the road. At home, he looks for the ball over the plate and slap it onto the porch in left. On the roach he tries to be a pull hitter. Kornerko is solid power hitter and a real good breaking ball hitter. They are the two guys who can beat you.

We are going to shut it off at 33 or 34 teams. We still have room for individuals and for some teams.

We are two All-Stars. We don't want our teams to lose the game. It was unfortunate that one team had to lose, but I am happy I was on the winning side. It was a great performance by myself and Gilbert.

We don't see them as a Cinderella team. We just view them as one of the top 32 teams in the country.
