We felt like we had to keep Victor in the lineup because of the injury to Travis Hafner.

Victor really respects the game. He knows that it's a long haul. We always felt like he was going to come out of it, and he did, too.

Where ya been? You're late. Victor, he's late.

I like the dynamic of having them at the top of the lineup.

Our guys set the tone early and went with it, ... Everybody contributed up and down the lineup.

They've pitched him tougher, ... I mean, they've made a lot of good pitches on him lately, you know. I felt like Jhonny's swings were actually a little bit better. I thought his passes through the baseball were a little bit better.
