We're going to get better. We need to know how to win those close games.

I know we'll have this game in the back of our minds for the rest of our lives. It might just be as close to the World Series as you might ever get without actually getting there. We wanted to, we tried to erase a curse. It seems that curse will be around for another year.

We need to know how to win close games, and this was close most of the way. We need to know how to push runs across.

All of our losses fall right on the offense. We need to get some rhythm and flow. We need to learn how to win those close games.
