kids thinking car
It's one of those scenarios you feel will never happen to you. Nobody thinks they're going to be the one, whatever, to get in a car wreck to have their, you know, their kids killed in a plane crash, whatever, you don't think those things are going to happen to you. And I didn't think that I'd be traded. So.

Having Jason back there helps me out because we're thinking more on the same page than having other guys behind the plate that don't know your stuff.

You kind of feed off each other. You're thinking about Wakefield going nine last night. I'm sitting down on the bench thinking the same thing, trying to get deep in the game.

change decisions discussion hurt involved obviously people relationship rested
I don't think a lot of decisions rested on just Theo's shoulders. I think a lot of people were involved in having a roundtable discussion and having different ideas, so I don't think it will change all that much. Obviously it's going to hurt some because of the relationship he had with the players.

bit breathing compare easier eight facing feels game gives goes hole league mentally national nine pitch pitcher power tough wearing yankees
Facing the Yankees 19 times a year, that lineup is so power packed -- even the eight hole and nine hole sometimes. It's tough to pitch to. It's mentally wearing on you as the game goes on. For me to be over here in the National League, just to have the pitcher in the nine hole, gives me a little bit of breathing room. I don't think there's any lineup in the National League that can compare with that one. For me, it feels like it's easier to get over the hump.
