It's been a great story all year long, how we've been able to compensate for some really important pieces that have not been available, ... He's an important piece and we're still hanging in there.
More Quotes from Tony Russa:
Those two swings were sweet Jim Edmonds swings. A couple of others times, he probably put a little too much into it.Tony Russa
You can't lose them the way we lost them. When you score one or two against a pitching staff that's last in the league. It's a mystery.

In the eighth inning, we missed our location three times, twice when we were ahead in the count. We almost caught a break -- Cabrera's ball was tagged, but it fooled Walker. That would have been an important break to catch. Matt got the ball up with a 1-2 count, and the pitch that Delgado tripled on wasn't where Ray was trying to throw it. Against good clubs in key situations, either you do or you don't, and if you don't, you get penalized most of the time.

They have done some really good things, mixed their pitchers or patterns up. I think no matter how good you pitch, we've got so many weapons, there's a way for us to break through and we haven't.

They were really good together, and this is a tough lineup. If Marquis wasn't pitching, I probably would have waited till tomorrow.
