Quick reaction: Mike Scioscia

Angels manager Mike Scioscia
Early, we did a great job of situational hitting to get those runs across. Then their pitching settled down and we couldn't get anything . . . I think both teams played well.

-- On why the Angels walked David Ortiz and pitched to Manny Ramirez in the ninth
It's really pick your poison [between David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez]. We wanted to take some chances with makeup and it made sense not to challenge David. It didn't work out.

-- On being down 0-2
Naturally it's not a desireable position, but the series isn't over until one team wins three games. We have to scratch and claw our way back into the series. It can be done . . . This can be done. We just have to stay short focus and go pitch to pitch.

-- On Daisuke Matsuzaka
He made some good pitches. He settled down and put up some zeroes after we got those three runs.
