That's all we were talking about. I'm glad I tied Cliff. I don't want to hear that from him all spring.

Although I would love to pitch in the inaugural World Baseball Classic and am proud to represent my country, I will not be ready to pitch in a competitive-game environment when play begins on March 7.

This is exciting. But the pressure is on the other guys. We have no sense of urgency. We don't have to do anything -- except go out and keep playing like we have been.

It just felt good to see Victor. He had a look of relief on his face when he threw that guy out. I was happy I was able to see it.

It?s a lot better than last year. Last year it hurt for a week or so. I was a little sore (Monday), but there?s no pain today.

It was the best I've felt as far as my stuff goes. I got some swings with my change and I got a strikeout or two with my slider, so I'm happy.
game gone help pitches situations
They told me 75-85 pitches but I could have gone longer. Just to get back out there in game situations and bases-loaded situations, things like that are going to help me when I get back to Cleveland.

There's nothing like it. Two years ago we were in it, but we fell out in August. That experience helped us get to where we were last year, and I think last year's experience is going to help us in '06.
faces guarantee people playing tv
Some people may not know us. But I guarantee you that in clubhouses around the league, they know who we are. We don't have to see our faces on TV every night. As long as we're playing in October.

Anyway we can get in is fine. I just want to get in, period. We all know what we have to do.

I'm always trying to make sure my conditioning is all right. I feel like I'm working hard and doing everything I can to stay on top of that. I'm definitely stronger than I was last year.
