Not only are they so good talent-wise, they're so good in every phase of the game. You come in here and play them, you know they're not going to beat themselves. They're going to play the game hard and they're going to play the game right. If you sit back and wait for them to make mistakes so you can win a game, you're going to be in trouble.

You really can't count on scoring five runs off of Roger Clemens, but tonight, luckily, we did. Any time you can beat him, you've done something.
