Paul Byrd Line Quotations

I got us through six, ... But the bottom line is, our bullpen came in and picked me up when, reasonably, they could have been tired.

The thing I see is that we're getting the hits now. Before, maybe if a guy crushed a line drive, it was hit right at somebody for an out. Now the hits are starting to fall in and we're stringing them together.

I have to give credit to Tampa Bay, they did a great job of hitting the ball. But the bottom line is, our offense overcame my poor start and I'll be able to sleep tonight because of that.

I pitched OK. I didn't pitch exceptionally well, but I didn't think I pitched five runs poorly. The bottom line is we won the game. I can't say enough about how we played as a team. One of the reasons I came here was the way our team plays, and you saw that (yesterday).

It was a tremendous play. I thought for sure it was out of the park, then I saw that he had a line on it and I thought he was going to play it off the wall. I really didn't think he would get to it.
