Before Rodriguez headed out to the weight room to lift, I pointed out that despite the he had saved the game, no other reporter had come to his locker to get so much as a throw-away quote from him.

“That’s how it is,” Rodriguez said, smiling. “When the team’s going good, that’s what you get paid for. That’s what people expect you to do. When the team’s going bad, everybody will be here, trying to find out what’s going wrong.”
