I think we played good baseball. Especially coming in there and playing these guys as tough as we did in their atmosphere. I just didn't do my job today, but I think we're gonna be all right.
Eddie Guardado -
In thinking about it, I felt I'd be better off not going over and playing in the WBC. I've got a lot to deal with here.

I could have been in one, but I threw nine innings the night before.
Eddie Guardado -
We've got to come out of the gates and show that we're for real. Everybody says it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Yeah, that's true. But you've still got to set a tone.
Eddie Guardado -
He comes in here early, he works out, he goes about his business the right way. He goes about his business the rookie way be quiet and don't talk unless you're talked to.
Eddie Guardado -
He always said nobody is promised tomorrow, and he lived life to the fullest. I do that. You can't take life for granted, and Puck never did. I'm real glad I was his teammate. He taught me everything I know about how to act, how to carry yourself, on and off the field.
Eddie Guardado -
You want to look for bright spots. If you're a fan who knows the game, I think you'd have to say we're better. I know I've had guys from other teams ask me, 'What's wrong over there? That's a good lineup. We haven't hit consistently. We haven't pitched consistently. And we haven't done both in the same games consistently.
Eddie Guardado -
You know what? That was the longest inning I've had in a long time. It seemed like 100 pitches. I'm glad it's early and got it out of the way. Don't want many of those, man.
Eddie Guardado
-
He did a hell of a job. That's what happens when you have heart and guts.
Eddie Guardado -
He's got great personality. That's the first thing you notice about him. He's a great guy.
Eddie Guardado -
I don't even know when the last time I walked four guys, period.
Eddie Guardado -
I didn't do my job. These types of games hurt.
Eddie Guardado -
Kevin said that in a way, he was glad. It would make it easier to focus on getting ready for the season in Seattle.
Eddie Guardado -
You can't ask for anything more. I got treated fair this year.
Eddie Guardado
-
Come on over here, bro, we'll take your yen.
Eddie Guardado -
I wanted to represent my country. It's an honor.
Eddie Guardado -
He's doing absolutely fantastic. He's so excited back there, and I love that.
Eddie Guardado -
Now, that's what I try to teach these guys in here.
Eddie Guardado -
We needed this one; we all needed it. It was a good meeting. I like it, the timing of it. We need something to get us going.
Eddie Guardado -
We all have to contribute here if we're going to win this year.
Eddie Guardado
-
You pitch up there at this level, you're going to pay the price. It was my fault.
Eddie Guardado -
That's what my job is. To help this team win and save some games. But when they come, they come in bunches. When they don't come, they don't come for a while. You sit back and wait. We'll see what happens. I'll be ready.
Eddie Guardado -
They were ugly shoes, man. They were the ugliest shoes I've ever seen.
Eddie Guardado -
One bad pitch, it's frustrating. But I felt great, like I did in Boston, and look what happened. I cost the team, I almost cost the game. But my teammates pulled it out, and you know what? I'm not worried. I'll be fine.
