I don’t care if we are scoring runs, two losses is still two losses. I’d rather win 6-5 or 10-9 and come out a winner.

They could throw the Bad News Bears out there, and we’ve still got to lock in and play baseball.

They got the breaks today. It was a well-played game, and we came up short.

Every game from here on out is important, so we’ll have no problem getting motivated for these games.

I really did pitch poorly. I struggled with command. The good pitchers figure out a way to get it done, and I didn’t do that.

The big thing is, there is no tension on this team. I’ve been with some (Houston) clubs going down the stretch in a playoff race, and teams get on edge. On this club, everyone is...

[The Rays] did me a lot of favors early on. They were aggressive and that helped me. But when it came down to make the pitches, I didn’t have it.

I didn’t do much well my last two starts. Today, even when I did fall behind in the count, I was able to make quality pitches. When I fell behind in my last two starts,...

It doesn’t boil down to individual performances right now. It’s just as a group, we’re collectively terrible. It’s time to get it figured out and get things together, or it’s going to be miserable.

I wish I could have put away a couple of guys when I had the chance and I just didn’t get it done.

I’m just thinking about what I have to do in the next inning. My job is to put zero after zero on the board. I can’t concern myself with anything other than that.

We could have folded up tonight.

My philosophy is: It all evens out. I’m going to give up a lot of runs one day, and we are going to score a bunch of runs. I can’t worry about that part of...

I have no explanation for the double plays. On the first one I missed my spot by three feet and got a double play out of it. I’ll take it.

I know right now, the division is tough. It’s probably not the best place to be playing for a team that’s rebuilding. At the same time, I want to be here when it happens.

It’s nice that the White Sox lost, but we have to come back and take care of business.

He’s a very good hitter. I’ve faced him quite a bit in the past. I just didn’t make my pitches. I feel like if I can make my pitches, I can get him out.
