    It is the best in the league, there is no doubt in my mind. Any time you can get into the sixth or seventh inning with a lead, it is pretty much over.

    The only thing was the slider I threw to Tejada -- garbage. I left it over the middle of the plate, and he blasted it. If I located that slider where it's supposed to be, it's a fly ball to right.



    When you face a guy like Roger, you've got to be on top of your game, ... You don't expect too much, so you take it as a 0-0 ballgame throughout the game and hope that somewhere along the line you pull out in front and win like we did today.

    He is committed to supporting the Democratic leadership in the Senate.

    Obviously, when you put on the Brooklyn uniform and you've got Don Newcombe's number (36) on your back, you better put on a great performance. You have to have a lot of respect for those guys for paving the way.

    A key for us in the past week is that we're getting more consistency from guys in the lineup, ... Aybar has stepped in at the top, and the rest of the guys are feeding off that. He's set the tone and everybody's followed. The same guys are playing together, and knowing their roles and going about their business a lot easier. When guys move in and out, it's hard to get comfortable. That's part of the reason we're playing good ball now.

    Nobody begrudges Rich Tarrant his money, but there is a growing concern in Vermont and America about wealthy candidates buying their way into political office. That's not how a democracy should work.

    All the guys look forward to seeing him in spring training. He doesn't get around here too often. It still looks like he can go out there and pitch. He's in great shape. Just to have his presence would benefit the club if he could be around more often.

    The first one is usually the toughest one to get, especially when you come to a new club. Maybe you put too much pressure on yourself. My teammates put five runs up for me. But I have to stay away from that one pitch that tends to get me into trouble.

    I think we've been warning from the beginning that this could happen. What is clear is that Vermonters don't want anyone to buy their way into a U.S. Senate seat, ... Bernie obviously is not a multi-millionaire, so he's actively raising money from middle-income people in Vermont and across the country.

    We've waited until the last minute here. We're playing good baseball. It is what it is. It's tough not to (look at the out-of-town scores), but at the same time we have to worry about ourselves.

    It would be a lot of fun to take someone out of the playoffs and make them feel as miserable as we do.

    I knew my slider got them out before, and I was going to make them hit it.

    You have to raise your level when you face a guy like Roger. You don't want to make the first mistake. I made a mechanical adjustment on my sinker and was able to hit the lower part of the strike zone.

    He's trying to buy volunteers. The truth of the matter is he doesn't have hundreds of people who want to come out and work on his campaign.

    I got involved because I didn't want to see it closed. I still don't. I'd give the lease away to somebody right now if I could just get some of the money I have in equipment I have sitting there.

    I thought it was a great call, ... He's got his elbow on the outer third of the plate with that huge arm guard, he's got no incentive to move. I'm pretty sure the pitch would have been a strike.

    Getting our youth involved in the democratic system is more important now than ever before. He's trying to buy volunteers.

    I couldn't believe it. He was like 130 pounds. It was a really tough situation. He was just getting into the league, establishing himself, and then he had to go through all that. He's such a great person, it hurt to see someone so young go through something like that.

    I thought it was a great call. Biggio got his elbow all the way to the outer third of the plate, and with that huge guard on his arm, there's no incentive for him to move. I'm pretty sure that pitch would have been a strike if he didn't put his elbow out there.

    I'm excited. I think everyone that goes out there is a No. 1. I think it is a sign of a great rotation. That is what wins pitching and defense. If everyone stays healthy and does what they're capable of, it is going to be a fine year.

    The pitch was where I wanted to throw it. It briefly clipped him, I guess. Everything was great today, I just got beat.

    The slider I threw to Tejada was garbage. I left it over the middle and he blasted it.

    He had to work his tail off just to get another chance to pitch. More than anything, hopefully he shows that his health isn't an issue. He never had any trouble with his arm. He was always a control pitcher. My only hope is some teams start to know what he can do and get him an invitation to spring training next year.

    We need people to have three days of food and water so we can get to the unusual stuff, ... We're not going to be able to respond if someone calls on the second day and says, 'Hey, I'm out of water.'

    It doesn't make me feel any better no matter how well I pitched. A loss is a loss.

    I'm a little disappointed, actually. We've been kicking this around for a while and I actually thought there was a slim possibility they were serious about a spending plan. Fooled again.

    They really make the pitching staff feel important,

    While the production and setup is happening, it's time for the 'Halo' battle royal. You don't even want to walk through the front lounge when they're playing.

    I felt a lot better today and located better. I just want to throw pitches where I want to, regardless if they hit it or not. I did that. It's another step forward.
