Some people will say it doesn’t matter, but I think it was a pretty important win just because of losing those four in the playoffs and going 0-6 here this year, … We need to...

I just can’t wait to get back, … I’m going to be so pumped up to get out there in the World Series. It’s going to be amazing.

When he strikes somebody out to end an inning, there’s just an explosion of applause. Not that it’s not loud when any of our pitchers gets a strikeout to end an inning. But when he...

Last night I was able to establish my fastball early, which is something Phil has told me to do repeatedly, and I finally listened to him. And [pitching coach Jim] Hickey, too.

Our mindset is to do our job. That’s what we’re getting paid for. If we can’t hold a four-run lead, then we’ve really blown it. Andy did a fantastic job. It’s our job as a...

Tonight I made some bad pitches, … They were hitting some sliders that were staying in the zone.

That’s an honor, to be mentioned in the same sentence as him. He’s one of those guy who I look to as the best ever at what he does,

Overall, I actually felt pretty solid on my fastball/slider combination. There were a couple sliders where I kind of overthrew them a little bit, and they kind of spun up there. I had a couple...

This is a bump in the road, … But no way is this going to get anybody down.

Everybody thought we were done, that we wouldn’t recover. The only people who believed were the guys in this locker room. This is a very resilient team. I knew we could come back and win.

I’ll be frustrated for the rest of the night, but when I get up I’ll be ready to go again. You take blown saves here and there and when you do you come back stronger....

We had some chances. It was a tough night to be a bullpen guy, for either team, … It just happened that I was the last one out there.

Everybody’s into it, everybody’s giving 100 percent. Nobody’s letting down at all. It feels great to compete in these games.

Obviously, some of the names I’m up there with are great pitchers, … Billy Wagner is a guy I strive to be like. Hopefully someday I can get to his level.

With the three-run lead that we had, I was just trying to be aggressive and throw strikes and it worked out. Sometimes, you’re too over-pumped up. But my experience from last year is really helping...

Every time he pitches, … instead of going to the bullpen, our whole group huddles in the dugout just to watch him pitch. It’s something our bullpen has done since he started here. I guarantee...

They did a good job hitting mistakes. Obviously, it’s a big disappointment. I felt good, but I couldn’t get on top of my slider. I don’t know if it was my mechanics or not. There’s...

It gave me chills just to see him go out there. We’ve all been pulling for him in his comeback, so to see him do that was great for everybody.

I turned on CNN and it was on CNN, … It’s been hard to get away from. But now I’m getting the chance to pitch in a World Series, so I don’t even care about...

To get a win today was really necessary. This is a big lift for us.

There’s nobody better than Roy right now in the big leagues. Just in terms of what he can do and how he pitches. I shouldn’t say there’s nobody better because Andy Pettitte is about as...

You don’t expect him to do that, … He’s not a home run guy.

We have to win two games. I know we can do it, everybody knows we can do it.

I was over it the next day. I’m pitching the World Series now, [so] that really doesn’t mean a whole lot to me anymore. Really, the next hitter, if you want to look at it...

Not at all. That was I don’t know how many days ago now.

In the past, guys might be wailing away expecting a fastball, but now that they know I throw so many sliders, it’s different, … This is a game where you have to make continual adjustments...

There’s a lot of guys in the bullpen that can get it done, but Roy would have gotten himself out of the jam, too. I knew when I was warming up that in this situation...

I just can’t wait to get back. I’m going to be so pumped up to get out there in the World Series. It’s going to be amazing.

We needed it to be perfect and we got it. They rolled it and it was an awesome play.

Thank goodness I got another chance, … Obviously, I wanted to redeem myself.

[The middle relievers] have thrown so well in the late innings this season that I haven’t had to throw nearly as many innings as I did last year.

When Roger pitches, you expect that just about anything can happen,

Certainly it makes us play at the top of our level consistently right into the playoffs. If the team clinches early, there can kind of be a lull there where you have to get fired...

A lot of guys know what I throw at this point in my career. This gives them something else to think about.

Obviously, I wanted to get back in there, … I was happy to get the opportunity to get in the game tonight. Anyone would want to get back in as fast as they can after...

(Catcher) Brad (Ausmus) did a great job of timing that one. He was set up for a high fastball to make it look like I was going to throw a high fastball, so maybe the...

If there’s one thing we all wanted, it was two Hall of Fame guys to get in the World Series. It’s something they deserve and worked so hard for for so many years. It feels...

I don’t want anybody to feel sorry for me, and nobody is,

If we weren’t playing for anything, I don’t know if he’d be doing this. It’s got to inspire everyone to see him out there.

Everybody could use Billy Wagner, … There’s not one team that could not use a guy like Billy Wagner. He’s the best there is in baseball. He dominates guys. He played in a hitter-friendly park...

It’s something very competitive and we’re all very competitive people.

This is a bump in the road, but there’s no way this is going to get anybody down, … This will sting a lot tonight, but when I wake up tomorrow I’ll be ready to...

It wouldn’t have surprised me if Roger went nine more innings and hit the home run himself.
