Kyle Lohse Quotations

I wanted to go out there and get a good start, so I can forget about everything that happened,

I can't complain about being here, ... We have been in the playoff hunt the last four years. I like playing here, and I think this other stuff can be resolved. I know little things have come up, but they have been resolved.

You lose that many one-run games - it's tough. You realize that somewhere down the line, there's something you could've done that could've really made a difference. ... I'm competitive. I didn't like the way things were going. Things kind of snowballed. I reacted in a bad way.

Let's forget about last year. We've got guys who've proven they've done it in the past. It's encouraging.

I wasn't going to give into Sweeney, ever. That's the one guy in the lineup I'm not going to get beat by. Some of the other walks, I made some bad pitches and fell behind. I think the key was I never gave in. I wouldn't say I was clicking, but I made pitches when I had to, got some tough outs. That was one of the things I needed to be able to do. When you're able to make pitches, you feel pretty good about it. That was the story tonight.

Everything has been put behind us, ... I'm focusing on trying to win some games and trying to keep us in the thick of things.

I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect me. I definitely felt a little uncomfortable.

I'm locating a lot better than I usually do at this time of year. Everything feels in sync.

He knows he did his job. He's not going to cry about it.

We're going through so much (roster) turnover, (the WBC) might slow us down early.
