Whether he's going to be able to do that, given what he's done, to me, doubtful. He has no credibility, I don't think, in that area. It's going to be tough. I just hope his life gets righted and he does the right thing.
I'm sitting there after the second inning and we're losing, 5-0, and I've shown no signs of being able to get them out. Like I said, after the second inning, I was at the end of my rope and I had to figure out which way I was going to go.
I was just frustrated with the whole situation, ... I was more frustrated with the fact that that was a winnable game going into the seventh, and I let it get away.
I think they understand what it is we get paid to do. We get paid to win a world championship - period. We don't get paid to play well or whatever. We get paid to win a world championship.

That was a fantastic catch. And to someone that's as terrifically slow as I am, it looks even faster.

For the first time since April 2004, there really is no physical limit to getting ready for me. That's a big difference.
I don't think any of my questions will really get answered until the season starts. I want to believe that physically I am where I was -- or better.
I came back after my surgery, throwing four to six miles harder than I did before.
This is a good win, this was a great win for us. I'd be real curious to see how many games we won last year scoring two runs.
