Carlos Lee, on what has happened this season:
"It's been tough. It seems like we can't find the rhythm. We will do good and score some runs and hit with people on base and all of a sudden stop doing that. It seems like we find a way to lose by one run. I think nobody's playing as many close games as us. It's frustrating, especially when it seems like you have a chance and you fight all the way to the end and keep coming up short. Hopefully we'll be able to score more runs and support our pitchers."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
