felt finish guess help hopefully hurt month rehab season start starts
I guess in a way (the layoff could help his arm), but I haven't even made my first start back yet. I had rehab starts just to see if I felt good, and you go out there just to see how it feels. I don't know if that month off is going to hurt me or is going to help me. Hopefully I can finish out the season on my part and do well.
guess higher people playoffs stage

definitely game hate pet taken time

great ready
I feel great and I'm ready to get back into action, and feel a part of the team.
felt game
This whole game I felt like I did pretty good,
definitely knows
It's definitely on my mind, ... Who knows what's going to happen? A lot of my friends are not wealthy, and I don't know if they'll be able to get out.
Not being there has been pretty tough. But you can't really do anything about it.
It makes it really tough, especially when (Willis) is on a roll,
electricity games rolling season start
It's going to be a little different when the games start rolling around, the electricity of the fans, just getting the season under way.
