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.
felt good step
It felt really good. It was a good day. It was a big step forward.
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.
good teams
What makes those other teams really good is that they don't fade.
care days expect extra few five good last later opposed scar schedule sure third threw tissue until wait whatever worried
The third inning was good, but something wasn't right. (The Jays) will take care of me. I'm not worried about that. I come back and it's just a scar tissue thing, I would expect to take a few extra days as opposed to being back on the same schedule as last time. If I threw five days later last time, why not wait until 15? Make sure everything is out of there for good ... whatever it is.
club far good
As far as the additions that the club's made and what the club already had here, it has a pretty good chance.
extra fact good however matter mentioned needed opposed road
No matter how good I feel I got to take that extra day. It's been mentioned to me and I know for a fact that I'm needed down the road as opposed to now so however long it takes.
feeding good riding starters
All of the starters are feeding off each other. You feel good about what's going on here. We're just riding it out.
days five floating good last later shark sure threw wait whatever
If I threw five days later last time, why not wait 10-15? Just make sure this thing's out of there for good -- whatever it is. There's a shark floating in there and we have to get it out.
hear roger
You hear all the hoorah about Roger Clemens being a warrior. It showed tonight. That's what he is.

behind energy gave pumped
Every play they made behind me pumped me up even more and gave me the energy to keep going.
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.
broken cautious pain ready reason rupture scar spring unless
I don't know what reason there is to be cautious anymore. Once the tissues have broken up and there's no pain or discomfort, I don't think it's going to come back ? unless I rupture more scar tissue. I'm just going to go out like I'm getting ready for the spring again.
