“We’re trying to catch these guys so it’s big. It’s big for us. We set the rotation out of the break pretty much pointing at this series knowing that we’ve got to beat these guys. We have not had in the past very good success against them. If we’re going to stay in the race this is the team we’ve got compete against.” -Terry Collins/Monday
