best bit calls came good last night phone time
I was still upset. But I got some good phone calls last night ... and that eased me up a little bit and made me feel better. It's good news, but any setback at this time is not good news. But the best came from it.
hear roger
You hear all the hoorah about Roger Clemens being a warrior. It showed tonight. That's what he is.

balls both leaked middle pitches supposed toward
Both those balls leaked over the middle right toward him and he did what you're supposed to do with them. Two pitches and that was really it.
behind four guys heart inches
It's pretty frustrating; I feel about two inches tall. You've got these guys who play day in and day out with their heart behind you and you can't go but four innings.
far felt giddy knew mainly pitch soon threw worrying
It was mainly the pitch in the second, I felt a little different, no pain, nothing like that as far as the first inning. But I wasn't loose. You know, live arm, the same giddy up that I have had in the past. I was kind of worrying about that and as soon as I threw that pitch I knew what it was.
depressing positive staff start
I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters. It's depressing around here. There's nothing positive around here. There's nothing positive on the staff now.
start
I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters.
fingers wait
I've got my fingers crossed. We just have to wait and see.
close guy next spit walk
It was a close pitch. (Thome) spit on it, it may have been a little low, but it's borderline. But still, you walk a guy and when the next guy comes up, you've got to make your pitches.
behind creep everybody feet goes hopefully worry
It just goes back to let everybody else worry about the Rocket. Let him take the show, and hopefully I can creep in from behind and take their feet out from under them. Them, not Roger.
coming telling
It's going to be different. Everybody's telling me I'm coming over to the varsity league.
home start
It's a 3-3 game. I give up a home run, it's a funeral. I'm over it, man. I've got one more start here, and that's all that matters.
expected good pitches threw
I threw a lot of pitches early. You've got to put them away when you're ahead. I wasn't as good as I expected to be.
