There are a lot of us that were on that 2003 team, so it's not like it's showing we know how to win. We've got to win games, we've got to score runs and we've got to pitch well. We need to get everybody back on track. It's nice to come back and score all these runs after the worst loss I've seen since I've been in Florida. It was nice.

We had some guys who had been starting and batting in different spots in the order. Jack made a shuffle and put some guys in different places. I think the credit goes to them for taking it and being upbeat about it. Any time there are changes, it can be tough on people's psyche.

I'd rather have a 1-2-3 inning every time but I was fortunate to make some pitches there. I always prided myself in those situations and trying to get out of them. Builds a lot of character.

I'm going to miss him. No doubt about it. It's a tough business, though. You've got to deal with the good times and the bad. He's dealt with them, and it's time for him to move on to another venture.

He didn't bother me much.

He threw probably 100 fastballs, ... and I don't think he made a mistake with one of them.

It's not like I wanted to fight. I just wanted to make the point that you look like a jackass when you do that and you're out.

He's a professional, and he doesn't deserve that.

I think experience means a little something, ... In [tough times], it's not easier, but it's easier to look back at something and say, 'Hey, I've had success in this situation before.'
