Curt's comments

Here are a few select comments from Curt Schilling after the game:

"We needed to win today, above everything else, so it was very easy to stay focused on what [we're] trying to accomplish, which was to win the game. The fact that they had no hits going into the seventh, eighth, ninth reflected executing the game plan, but the focus was winning the game. We hadn't won the last couple of days, [so it was a] big win for us."

"I was sure [Stewart] was taking. Tek was sure he was swinging. I was wrong."

"I felt good later in the game. I thought velocity-wise I got better as the game went on, stuff-wise I got sharper. I made some mistakes earlier, they hit some balls right at people defensively. We made some great plays. Fun game to be a part of."
