What helped us a lot was being patient at the plate in that one inning. Against a great pitcher you have to do what you have to do for your team. Take a walk, a hit batter; anyway we can get a runner on.

We played pretty well, ball control-wise. They stuffed the box on us. They had nine players in the box and only one midfielder and one forward. I thought they were playing for a tie.

They got out and covered us better on the perimeter. They did a better job of shielding our shooters and getting out and getting a hand up. There were a couple of fouls that were missed on 3-pointers right in front of us, but that didn't beat us.

It's nice to have Jill back with us. It's nice to have somebody out there that has been through our system.

This is big for us. This is a tough place to play.

Well, I think the president has clearly submitted us a tight budget, but it's what's called for if we're going to get spending under control and keep the economy moving in the right direction, with economic growth and job creation activity.
