Somebody on this team wants me to get booed to make them feel better, and that really bothers me a lot,
As good an offense as ours, we're going up against (one) so there's less margin for error than there has been. I'll be ready.
The bottom line is that the ball should not have hit him. You've got to be able to get out of the way of that pitch. I threw a ball in and jammed him the pitch before. I threw in a couple of times during his first at-bat. That's just the way it goes. I'm not trying to hit anybody in the head. Everybody I have been on the field with knows I play the game the way it's supposed to be played.

Any way you slice it, they were better than us, ... I hope they go on and win it.
I wanted to create jobs and create something that had a very longstanding world-changing effect. We were close. We were close to getting there. It just fell apart.
said GM Theo Epstein . ''We feel the time in Arizona was time well spent. We intend to continue to be patient with Curt and make sure he's 100 percent ready before we send him out in game situations.
I don't go out there with the mindset that he did this, now I'm going to better him. This game's too hard.
I don't have an explanation for it. I just know the first three innings, I was pitching. We had a game plan and I was moving the ball, making my pitches. Then all of a sudden, I could feel it. When I threw a couple pitches in the fourth inning, I knew I had something extra on them.
I don't expect anything. I have no control over whether Manny comes through the door or not, and how I feel about it is not going to change anything.
I don't give two (expletive) when Manny shows up. He'll be ready to play. I don't care. He'll be ready. One thing Manny does is put in his time and effort into getting ready. On (Opening Day) April 3, he'll be here and ready to hit.
I don't doubt for a second i could do it. I don't doubt either that I could be good at it. I just think it's a much different mental challenge to make than it was physical.
I'd love to sit here and justify why I should throw more (on Friday). But I can't do that.
I did some things better, ... The first pitch of the game I left the ball out over the middle of the plate, and Manny made a huge play.
