Felipe Alou Losing Quotations

It was a big crowd, but I don't believe it was a big threat. There were some abusive actions and words, but I understand they were going to upgrade whatever they did (by closing the left-field area). We were told about that . . . and we appreciate it.

Tomko threw well. It's just that we forgot how to win games at home. If it's 3-2, we're always on the losing side.

We had a shot at winning or losing all three games. It was a matter of not being able to deliver a hit here and there.

I was afraid of last place, ... There were a lot of fears. Below .500 -- I never thought I'd see that here. Then, losing 100 games seemed like a possibility, then 90 games. All of those things could have been a reality here. The grave seemed like a reality here, but the guys didn't let it happen.

We spent five months losing series. That's what has us five games back - not the loss tonight.
