Quotables
First of all, I just want to say that I've been reading all the comments about Gibby and KT and I just would be very disappointed if something happened to them. The bottom line is, it's our responsibility to go out there and take care of business. I just wanted to say that, because the blame should be on us. It should be on the players, it should be on us, because we haven't played the way we are supposed to play.
It's a big blow. You prepare and you give others an opportunity to fill in for him. You try to resolve it as quick as you can. It happens all around the big leagues. Though you're disappointed and it gets frustrating, you have to move on and find a way to get around it.
