Wagner's tough. We all know how good he is. We just buckled down.
More Quotes from Phil Garner:
Well, we're certainly not in a good spot. We'll bounce back. We'll make a series out of this.Phil Garner
I said it's going to take a couple of breaks and someone's going to have to bust one long. That was the Hudson that I had seen in previous years in the American League with a good sinking fastball. He was keeping the ball down in the zone and just didn't give us much. And sure enough, we got something going. And Lance (Berkman) comes up with a big boom. Then of course Ausmus with a big boom, too.

I wish we didn't have to do that, but that's what it is. The good news is we're not traveling, but I think 12 is going to be difficult for us. I'd prefer 1 o'clock, more of a regular time. ... We would just all prefer to be in our routines, and we don't normally get up at 9 o'clock and get into a stretching and getting-ready-to-play-a-game mode.

We are a different club and we are probably not as offensively as potent as we were last year. We certainly don't have the possibility to break a game open with the long balls like we did last year. We're a little bit younger in our offense, but somehow we found a way. Our pitching is more solid than it was last year from top to bottom. Our bullpen has been good on the balance of the year and having Andy Pettitte healthy has helped our rotation quite a bit. We are probably a little stronger in the pitching department and probably a little weaker in the offense department.
